Blake Fitzpatrick (born April 22, 1985), is an Irish-American film director who has made a number of acclaimed B-movies. Fitzpatrick started making films at the age of eight, and by the age of fourteen was hired by Todd Sheets, the director and producer of Zombie Bloodbath. Fitzpatrick went on to work on over ten more feature films with Sheets until he left to expand his own company, Monumental Pictures.

In 2003, Monumental Pictures released its second feature film, Imprudence starring Lon Amick. The film is a spoof on the B-movies of the 1970s.

Monumental's next film, The Changers (2004) drew critical attention, and advanced Fitzpatrick’s career into a larger market. Since then, Fitzpatrick has finished a feature film version of his 2001 script, A Dream of Color in Black and White.
