About the Filmmaker:
Before Joseph began attending college he worked many interesting jobs, which gave him unique life experiences. He then decided it was time to pursue his dream of film making. His journey started in Connecticut where he began is education. It was here that he got his first recognition as a writer when a comedic vignette he wrote about life on campus was published. Joseph then continued his education at University of Southern California where he earned a Bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science. It was after this he felt he had enough knowledge and experience to begin learning the art of film making and storytelling. He decided to attend Chapman University to gain these skills. His first movie gained him recognition as a director when this 3-minute short was shown at the LA Shorts Festival. Joseph looks forward to being a part of the movie industry as a director and writer.
