Iowa premiere. Featuring post-screening Q&A with writer/director Eric Obenauf, also editorial director of indie press and now-film producing Two Dollar Radio.

I'M NOT PATRICK is a black comedy that follows Seth, a teenager whose twin brother, Patrick, has suddenly, tragically, committed suicide. Seth doesn’t know what to feel, but everyone is eager to suggest what they imagine to be typical reactions to monozygotic suicide.
 
Whether it's the rival twins' landscaping company encroaching on Seth’s turf, or the school guidance counselor hovering close-by, or the French club electing him honorary president (a position that Patrick had occupied), Seth struggles to assert his individuality and insist that "I’m not Patrick."

Eric Obenauf is the editorial director of Two Dollar Radio. He is a graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where he received the Venable Herndon Award for Screenwriting. He has written for television, as well as for the Los Angeles Review of Books, The Brooklyn Rail, The Rumpus, The Millions, and elsewhere
