Pat Sweeney - Cast

Pat Sweeney is a British gaffer. A late starter in the industry, Sweeney began his professional life as a motor mechanic. Sweeney entered the lighting department in 1997 when he joined Lee Lighting in Glasgow. Initially tasked with maintaining lighting trucks and generators, he soon worked on set, gradually rising from generator operator to electrician, best boy, and eventually to gaffer. His first break came by chance while working on Gregory's Two Girls, where he connected with Steve Kitchen, who offered him a best boy role in London. That collaboration became a long-standing professional relationship, spanning over 20 feature films.
