Patron

Patron is a 2019 short film by Mike Barkhoff, which doubles as a fan film for Breaking Bad (due to El Camino's impending release) and as a short film 'postlude' to INFINITE..

Thereafter, Barkhoff announced a sequel in progress, "The Great Escape".

Plot
A man goes about his morning routine over the song "Crystal Blue Persuasion". He heads to his basement and grabs a container of Patron, opening it to reveal blue meth 'candy' in a Breaking Bad labeled container. A freeze frame occurs, and we hear the INFINITE.-esque voiceover, revealing it to be a sequel to the film: "My name is Joey Evans, and thanks to the popular TV show "Breaking Bad", it's been more than easy to sell meth on the streets."

Production
Barkhoff wanted to do a fan film for Breaking Bad before the premiere of El Camino. He turned to an idea he had at the age of thirteen, but considered it too "late" to do it, with time nearing fast. Discussing the idea with a coworker, he came to the conclusion of making a sequel to his first film. It was filmed in a day and the voiceover was done as well. Originally, he wanted Eminem's song "INFINITE." to play over the credits, but due to copyright, changed it to "Castle" by Eminem. This delayed it by a day.

Clothing and Set
Barkhoff again controlled clothing and set on this film. He made Joey's appearance "flashier than in the film" to highlight success. He also made the room look "dirty but cleaned up towards the center" to give it a rigged design, encapsulating Joey's behavior, similar to how the film did.

Reception
The film was met with acclaim. It amassed the most streaming debut views for the company (at the time) due to it's tie in with Breaking Bad.

Aftermath
Barkhoff declared a sequel to his debut feature film, entitled "The Great Escape", without a script written, only the bare minimum of a plot. After viewing El Camino, he took notes and got inspired, wanting the sequel to feel like "the sequel to what inspired the first". During a getaway from reality for a weekend, travelling to family about two hours away, he wrote the plot out. It came to him in segments and he aligned it to make sense. He then wrote the script in one single day over the course of six hours, only leaving it for bathroom and cigarette breaks, during the late night when he returned from the trip.
