In 2011 Patrick was offered an opportunity to work for Todd-AO. It was another expansive learning experience, this time in the state-of-the-art dub stage, working on major motion pictures like "Avengers", "Lone Survivor" and well-regarded television such "Girls" and "Nashville".

Across these career moves Patrick has kept busy mixing dialogue, effects, for films and television, working everywhere from Technicolor, Warner Brothers, Bad Robot, Advantage Audio, Formosa Group, and Pacific Standard Sound.
