Having shared many years working alongside the immensely talented and award-winning Director/Writer Kyle Misak, the moment he beckons, dropping everything and responding with a resounding YES becomes instinctive.

Shot in Kalamazoo, Michigan, and unsurprisingly, back down in Indiana, the collaboration resumes seamlessly.
Following the call, Patrick wastes no time in enlisting the expertise of his friend and fellow Stunt Coordinator, Sara Holden, to once again synchronize efforts in coordinating another feature film.

July 2022 - Patrick Gets a Call from Sara
Sara Holden, a multifaceted talent encompassing roles as a friend, actress, writer, and fellow Stunt Coordinator, reached out to Patrick with an enticing proposition: directing the sequel to her brainchild and immensely popular comedy film, #momlife. For Sara, there was only one acceptable answer: a resounding YES. After all, when Sara sets her sights on something, she tends to achieve it. Together, they delved into crafting the story and screenplay. By August, Sara reprised her role as a single mom, locked in a rivalry with her ex-husband, the exceptionally gifted actor Bobby Laenen, for the affection of their daughter (portrayed by Sara's own daughter), their only child. This sets the stage for a spirited contest between the two parents, vying to be present for the pivotal moments in their daughter's life.
In the first movie, Sara's character famously flipped a vehicle and careened through a boat before coming to a dramatic halt, upside down in the middle of the street. In #momlife2, the narrative escalates to new heights of comedy and absurdity, punctuated by a plethora of daring stunts both on land and water.
