Current
Projects
'The
Transformation' is a lifelong project that Joseph is undertaking.
His goal is to chronicle his entire life, in 2 films a year, which will not
resemble the mass produced 'reality show' in any way. With this project he is
paying homage to the late, great filmmaker Stanley
Kubrick , the
legendary man who originated this idea. Joseph's first installation of this
project is 'The
Life and Times of the Star Children' which was shot in the fall & winter
of 2007. The film is projected to premiere publicly in the Spring or Summer
of 2008 in New York City.
