One Patty (2017)
Director: Eugene Williams
FILM SYNOPSIS
One Patty follows an impatient man who walks into a Jamaican patty shop wanting nothing more than a single patty. What he gets instead is a valuable life lesson - learned, as the film's own synopsis puts it, “the hard way.”
ABOUT DIRECTOR’S
Public biographical information about director Eugene Williams is limited, and unlike the other entries in this list, One Patty does not currently have an IMDb page. The film was shot on a modest budget of roughly $9,480 USD and produced out of Jamaica by Angela Gay Magnus. For more on the director's background and approach to the film, a short filmmaker interview is available online.
