In 1991, Jerome made his first full-length feature film, Ruthless Gang, set in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, about the insecurity in Haitian society. After a bloody military coup, the newly created regime moved to ban Patrick’s film and hunted him down to suppress the views he expressed. After hiding for 18 months, Patrick fled to the United States in 1993 and was granted political asylum. He then moved to Boston and has based his film company here since then.

From 1993 to the present, Bway 7 Productions has produced more than thirty music videos for artists in North and South America and the Caribbean. Some have been broadcasted on Boston Station WCEA-TV, as well as nationally on BET (Black Entertainment Television).
In 2000, Bway 7 Productions produced a feature length movie called Deportation, which was presented in the Roxbury International Film Festival in Boston. In 2002, this film was also presented at the New York International Film Festival, the Las Vegas Film Festival, and the Los Angeles International Film and Video Festival. In 2003 it was presented at the Boston International Film Festival. Deportation is now available on DVD.

In 2001, Bway 7 Productions introduced Holla At Me, another full-length feature. This film was presented at the Tribeca Film Center in New York and the Boston International Film Festival, both in 2004. Holla At Me obtained a distribution deal through Image Entertainment, and it is currently available on DVD and online on Netflix.

This annual festival has presented movies from over 57 countries, and it has exhibited more than 1000 films, hosting more than 90,000 film-goers over the last ten years.
