Patrick Redding

I'm a creative director at Warner Bros Games Montreal.

I spent nearly 10 years at Ubisoft's Toronto and Montreal studios, where I was game director on two SPLINTER CELL titles, CONVICTION and BLACKLIST. Before that I was a game and narrative designer on the FAR CRY series.

Before I joined Ubi I was a creative director and producer for the digital agency Blast Radius, where my clients included game industry giants like Nintendo and EA, as well as media companies like Sony, Vivendi-Universal and USA Networks. I also logged hundreds of hours in editing suites staring at overcranked footage of Michael Jordan sailing through the air, which wasn't a bad way to make a living.

Through a combination of dumb luck and shameless opportunism, I managed to survive the entire dot-com thing and come out weirdly ahead of the curve. I immediately spent the entirety of that delta on a series of short film collaborations with a number of extremely talented folks on whose coat-tails I continue to ride periodically. I can see no good reason to discontinue this lopsided arrangement and these geniuses are all too kind-hearted to tell me to bugger off.
