Pat Kerby

Pat Kerby began making films in 1980 when he, his brother Kelly, and a group of close friends started shooting their own films in and around Las Vegas. Opening Kerby Brothers Productions in 1984 gave Pat the opportunity to direct many different types of productions, from commercials and music videos to documentaries and feature films, resulting in his talents becoming well known and respected in the Las Vegas market. Having worked in nearly all aspects of production - as a writer, D.P., stunt and special effects coordinator, jib arm operator, and editor - Pat brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to his role as Director.

Siren is Pat's third feature film, but represented a tremendous leap from his previous work in both the budget and level of creative control. Like the lead character in the film, Pat had put his dream of directing feature films on hold, and Siren was a chance to revisit his lifelong passion. " The collaboration with Michele Fiore-Kaime was incredible. We have great creative energy together, and it shows on screen."

Pat drew from his long association with many local professionals in the Las Vegas area to assemble a dream crew for the production of Siren. "To get the most out of the budget, I got a lot of my friends to do double duty. I got the D.P. credit, but the film wouldn't look the way it does without Dan Owen, Gary Saur, and Barry Green, or sound the way it does without Chuck Bejarano." The final result is a film that shows every dollar spent - and then some - on the screen. "These are the projects that you dream about. A great script, an excellent cast, incredible music, an amazing crew, and more fun than you can possibly imagine. I'm proud and happy to have been a part of it."
