TESTIMONIALS
James Boo
Producer,
JustFilms Fellow 2017
“Patrice jumped onto an incredibly tight deadline (less than one week turnaround) for a documentary short that I was producing ["America Heard: Refuge of Hope"]. With just one conversation she was able to integrate into our team seamlessly, despite the fact that our team was flung across several cities. Because of her flexibility, clear communication (on phone, e-mail, chat — whatever was required), and ability to deliver color correction on time, our story went from rough around the edges to polished and evocative in its look and feel. It was easy and satisfying to work with Patrice on a story that truly mattered!”
Jonathan Benefiel
Actor, Producer
" I needed a colorist for a short film I acted in and produced called "Protecting Tony". My editor recommended Patrice and I'm so happy she did! Patrice is the consummate professional. She made my film so much richer. She understood what the tone of the movie was and did a masterful job. I highly recommend her for any filmmaker that wants that 'next level' quality!"

“Patrice Bowman is a master editor and colorist. When working with her remotely [on BY THE TIDE] she was able to capture our vision which was, to our excitement, only amplified when working with her in person. Her work ethic made all the hours of communication worth the effort but most of all, what a joy to realize your creation with a master.”
