About Joel's Life

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. The one thing you can expect is that you do not know what to expect.

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

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.

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."
