Patch Town is a 2014 Canadian dark fantasy comedy holiday film written by Christopher Bond and Jessie Gabe, and directed by Craig Goodwill. It features settings designed by Production Designer Matt Middleton. Originally an award-winning short film that inspired a much larger project, Patch Town stars actors Rob Ramsay, Julian Richings, Zoie Palmer, Suresh John, Stephanie Pitsiladis and Ken Hall in a quasi-musical about a fictional Soviet-style factory producing children's toys, run by a bitter and lonely executive officer named Yuri (Richings). When a factory employee named Jon (Ramsay) discovers a hidden secret about his past, he goes on a quest of trying to establish a real family for himself. Completed in 2014 and released in 2015, Patch Town received mixed reviews, but was praised for the cast's acting and the story's satirically grim take on United States 1980s consumer culture, and Soviet communism.
