JOE
DP | Camera Operator
Joe creates stories through his films. Joe’s been an artist all his life, whether he’s drawing, painting, or shooting videos, he’s always creating.
Joe was born in Cincinnati OH in ’98. He never knew he wanted to make films, but he always enjoyed coming up with ideas for other people’s short videos. After failing to get into DAAP for industrial design, he had to rethink everything and figure out what he was passionate about. He already liked shooting photos, so he thought that video might be the next step. He then applied and got into the Video Production program at UC. He graduates Spring 2023.
Once he started shooting videos, it was addicting. He wanted to know EVERYTHING because that’s just how he rolls. He finds something he likes, and then he searches out every piece of knowledge on that subject. He is a researcher, and absolutely loves to learn. Even today, one of Joe’s favorite activities is watching YouTube videos on cinematography so that he may continue to hone his craft.
