A regional filmmaker will re-
turn to southwestern Kansas
this summer to film the historic
drama 'Rabbits,' a suspense film
about an isolated farmer living
on the Kansas prairie in 1914.
Directed by Patrick Clement,
formerly the managing editor of
the Kiowa County Signal News-
paper in Greensburg, 'Rabbits'
tells the story of a lonely farmer,
grieving from the death of his
wife.
"I certainly raised some Ivy
League eyebrows when I in-
sisted on shooting in south-
western Kansas," said Clement,
a current MFA candidate at Co-
lumbia University's acclaimed
Film Directing Program in New
York City.
"But they have never

Clement's previous film
' Somewhere Between Freedom
and Protection, Kansas' was
filmed in the Comanche and
Kiowa County area. It premiered
at the Free State Film Festival in
2014, winning the audience
award and garnered six award
nominations at other festivals --
including Best Director and Best
Cinematography.
"This region has a unique
beauty and visual complexity
that elevates stories about the
human experience," said Clem-
ent. "I have been looking for a
reason to come back."
Director Patrick Clement is a
graduate of LA Valley College
in Los Angeles and the Univer-
sity of Kansas Film Studies Pro-
gram.
In 2012 he won seven Kan-
sas Press Association Awards
of Excellence for his work as the
Editor of the Kiowa County Sig-
nal, in Greensburg. He has pub-
lished two books on photogra-
phy; a collection of rural Kan-
sas snapshots and a selection
of unpublished portraits of au-
thor William S Burroughs.
Currently he is researching
his biography of Garden City
