Welcome. My name is actually Patrick McCarthy (he/him), but McDiaz is more fun and honors the artists on that side of my family too. For 15+ years, I've collaborated with global brands, local businesses, artists, agencies, production companies and nonprofits. First and foremost I am a film & video editor for TVCs, trailers, shorts, and digital content in all of its many forms. Comedy. Drama. Intimate docs. Wild lifestyle vids. Provocative fashion content. Mouth-watering food & beverage spots. Give me the footage and we will create the magic.

 

I write and post produce. I’m a [pr]editor slash storyteller slash music playlist fiend. I miss mixtapes. So whether it’s advertising or the arts or the sweet spot where the two align, I know what it takes to see a project through from conception to completion. I understand the responsibilities required to get the job done under pressure and budget, and to nail that ship date, while maintaining creative focus from the hot-seat.

 

That’s me in a web-bio-nutshell. I want to entertain and inspire strangers. I want to make a positive difference with my work and the people I collaborate with.
