Connor Patrick Griffin

Connor Patrick Griffin was born February 20, 1990, in Reston, Virginia. After dropping out of school, he began writing and acting in independent films in Tucson, Arizona as a teenager. He continued to act after enrolling in the University of Arizona Journalism School at 15-years-old, and then wrote and directed his first feature-length film, Curved, which premiered shortly after his graduation in 2009. For the next several years, Connor directed music videos and short-films before moving in front of the camera to act in films such as Check In (2012) and The Sister (2013). In 2012, Connor Patrick took a brief hiatus to work on his Master's Degree in Intelligence Analysis at Johns Hopkins University. Shortly thereafter, he founded the media department for a federal contracting firm located in Washington, D.C., which began producing original media content in support of several public-and-private-sector clients including the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), National Counter-Terrorism Center (NCTC), and others. Most notably, Connor developed the national-level Active Threat Preparedness suite of videos for DHS from 2016-2018. As of Spring 2018, Mr. Griffin returned to Tucson, Arizona, where he founded a new production company - Dauphine Productions - and continues to work as a screenwriter and actor for independent films. His work with Dauphine as its Director of Media Development primarily supports private-sector organizations, independent artists from the world of music and film, and public-sector clients including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
