About Jet Set

I produce and direct each and every one of the videos that I upload. They are diverse, different - from short films, to music videos, comedy, interviews, vlogs, they are meant to do one thing: entertain.

What David Casey, of MD&C Ads (Connecticut) said about my videos and me:

"I think you have an arresting persona, not quite a straight man, or pitchman, but a spokesman with a touch of restrained or polite lunacy. Very smoky but no fire damage. No on-camera threat to a trusting child or a working man or housewife, or conventional wisdom but an added dimension to the commonplace, or a calming place where new truths emerge. But somehow a threat to pomposity and arrogance, or a fool.

So you can be a truth-finder as contrasted to a fact-finder. Facts are boring, Truth is exceptional.

Actually, you remind me of Ernie Kovacs."

What Suzyn D. H. K. said:

"Joel, there is something so ineffable, [calming yet zingy?] about your videos!"

"Film as dream, film as music. No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul."
- Ingmar Bergman

BIO
"Joel Vetsch was born & raised in the small town of Colstrip, Montana, relocating to Connecticut in 2008. After watching 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' at the age of 12, he decided he wanted to make movies. Eighteen years later, Joel has established a diverse resume in film with acting, directing, and writing credits to his name; his work has been broadcast on CNN and on television overseas. His recent credits include the short films 'Elm City Pulp' (writer, director, lead actor) and 'Hold On' (director, cinematographer). He is currently appearing in the web series 'The Oligrach Duplicity' and recently starred in 'Kharon's Fare', a short that aired on WNET as part of its Reel 13 series. Joel's latest film as director and lead actor is the short 'A Man Alone'; upcoming projects include directing and starring in the dramatic film 'Thoughts of a Professional Man' and an as-yet-untitled zombie comedy. His website is www.joelvetsch.com"

FROM JOEL
"I started to become interested in film as a medium and direction for my life at age 12, when I first saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. That film changed me forever. It sparked an insatiable appetite for films of all genres, types, domestic or foreign, black and white or color. I can appreciate anything of quality. From a silent film to an arthouse flick, from the occasional "blockbuster" (when they actually get it right) to your veritable classics.
So there I was at 12 years old, with a video camera, making western films and adventure movies. I made one called 'Indiana Jones and the Mummy's Curse', and my brother Josh played the mummy in the tomb (root cellar). He was all decked out in old cloth, and waiting inside. We had rigged a wooden door that would open at the touch of a "button", with someone standing up on top, moving the "door" at the right moment.
Another film was called 'Jesse's End', a western where I got shot down in a gun fight after robbing three banks. We lived out in the country at that time, so we used some of the long deserted old homestead cabins as the locations for the banks and sheriff's office. I still have these all on VHS somewhere... I will convert and put on youtube someday.
In 2001 I went to Europe for the first time, living there for 6 months in a flat in Poland, travelling to see France as well. I have spent almost 2 months of every year in Europe since, seeing Ireland, England, Holland, France, Germany, Belgium, Slovakia, and Poland. I truly enjoy travelling, seeing new things, hearing new languages, eating new foods, meeting local people and emersing myself in the culture I am in. I just got back from Hawaii this summer.
So many stories, experiences... from red carpet film screenings in Warsaw to walking the streets of Paris at 3 am... I love travel. That is why I make the statement about coming "there" soon to everyone, because honestly I intend to see everything on this great earth, except for the countries where I will be shot on sight. Even then I may venture there, with a video camera on my shoulder of course."
