Patrick Lovell started in Hollywood balancing working inside the machine while pursuing an Indy writing career. He would relocate to Park City, Utah where he became an Action Sports producer and would ultimately create Sundance programming. Lovell was recruited to become a Senior Producer on a nationally syndicated television program and was responsible for giving away houses to deserving families across the country. In 2007 the shows funders went belly up over night and it wasn't long before Lovell went from being at the height of his career to being in the same boat as millions of Americans that included losing his home to foreclosure. Lovell made Forward 13: Waking Up the American Dream which is not so much a film about home foreclosure as it is about the foreclosure of the American Dream.
