Over Patz / About Patz
Na een carrière in de reclamewereld heeft Patz van der Sloot (Delft, 1964) de afgelopen 15 jaar gewerkt aan een oeuvre van verhalen voor volwassenen, jongeren en kinderen. Deze verhalen kwamen tot leven in boeken, audioverhalen en podcasts, films, series en zelfs in de vorm van spellen en publieksruimtes waar hij vaak als een dirigent samenwerkt met diverse creatieven om de verhalen tot leven te brengen.
Zijn liefde en kennis voor verhalen is groot. Het is dan ook geen wonder dat Patz de laatste jaren ook wordt ingeschakeld als verhaaladviseur en internationale Masterclasses Storytelling verzorgt voor marketeers, communicatie- en contentprofessionals.
Naast zijn verhaalwerk is Patz de oprichter van Fat Unicorns Games en is actief als autonoom beeldmaker en fotograaf.
After a career in advertising, Patz van der Sloot (Delft, 1964) has spent the past 15 years working on an oeuvre of stories for adults, young people and children. These stories came to life in books, audio stories and podcasts, films, series and even games and public spaces where he often works as a conductor with various creatives to bring the stories to life.
His love and knowledge of stories is excellent. It is, therefore, no wonder that Patz has also been called in as a story consultant in recent years and provides international Storytelling Masterclasses for marketers, communication and content professionals.
In addition to his story work, Patz is the founder of Fat Unicorns Games and is active as an autonomous image maker and photographer.

Naast zijn werk als verhalenmaker is Patz ook actief als autonoom beeldmaker en fotograaf. Sinds november 2023 is het beeldend werk van Patz ook te zien tijdens exposities en binnen culturele en maatschappelijke projecten die gefinancierd zijn door verschillende fondsen en instanties.
Patz: autonomous photographer/Imagemaker
