Catholics vs Convicts is told from the perspective of Notre Dame alum and documentary film director Patrick Creadon. Creadon is known for Wordplay (2006), I.O.U.S.A. (2008) and Square Roots: The Story of SpongeBob SquarePants (2009).
Creadon is a 1989 graduate of Notre Dame. He was a Senior at the apex of Catholics vs. Convicts in 1988. Creadon didn’t just direct Catholics vs Convicts, he was an intimate part of the story. Creadon lived a few doors down from Notre Dame Quarterback Tony Rice in Dillon Hall.
He was also a friend of Notre Dame Basketball players Joe Frederick and Pat Walsh, the purveyors of the infamous T-Shirts that share the name of the film.
