For the past 40 years, thousands have come to Stevens Point on one weekend for one thing - the world's largest trivia contest. "Triviatown" follows the teams as they cluster together in basements, garages and living rooms for 54 straight hours playing trivia.

Patrick Cady | Co-Director/Executive Producer

Patrick “got hooked” on film working as the camera intern on director John Sayles’ “Passion Fish.” Eight years after hauling cases for Roger Deakins on that first film, he was singled out as one of Variety’s “Ten Cinematographers to Watch” for his work shooting “Girlfight”. He then went on to shoot Mr. Sayles’ “Sunshine State” which was lauded as one of the best films of 2002 by The New York Times. He was also a cinematographer on CBS’s premiere season of “Cold Case”, which was the nation’s most watched new drama. He continues to shoot movies and TV shows, including HBO’s critical hit “In Treatment” and “The Stepfather” for Sony/Screen Gems.

Patrick lives in Los Angeles with his wife and daughter, both of whom have been remarkably supportive of his pursuit to make a film about the World’s Largest Trivia Contest.
