Over Patz / About Patz
Voormalig reclameman Patz van der Sloot (Delft, 1964) werkte de afgelopen jaren in opdracht of autonoom aan een oeuvre van volwassenen-, jeugd- en kinderverhalen die in de vorm van boeken, audioverhalen/podcasts, films, series en zelfs spellen en publieksruimtes werden uitgebracht. De manier van werken is uniek in Nederland; in de meeste gevallen ontwikkelt Patz de verhaalconcepten en verhaal-outlines en werkt waar nodig samen met een team van alle mogelijke createurs om de verhalen uit te werken en te realiseren.
Inmiddels zijn de internationale (film)rechten van meerdere van zijn verhalen verkocht en is hij zelf ook actief betrokken bij tv-en filmproducties in binnen- en buitenland.
In recent years, Patz van der Sloot (Delft, 1964) has worked on commission or independently on an oeuvre of adult, youth, and children's stories that have been published in the form of books, audio stories/podcasts, film scripts, series and even games and public spaces. The way of working is unique in the Netherlands; in most cases, Patz develops the story concepts and outlines and, where necessary, works with a team of all possible creators to develop and realize the stories.
Meanwhile, several of his stories' international (film) rights have been sold, and he is also actively involved in several TV and film productions at home and abroad.
