PP is a phrase you will often here from the tireless Patrick\u2019s lips. It is an example of Patricks incredible work ethic and never say die attitude that everything eventually becomes a PP. Patrick is a local producer and partner. For commercials where we need a logistical genius and a helping hand we partner with Patrick, who operates together with us as Capefinn Shootaway. And just FYI, PP means Patrick\u2019s problem.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\t
