Samuel Jay Patrick is an Irish writer and director whose debut feature script Daisychain was shortlisted for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing Award 2024.
His co-written debut series Diving was one of six projects selected for the Fís TV Summit 2025, and his three shorts have shown at international festivals and been selected for Clermont-Ferrand's 2025 market.
