Over the many years Joel has been in media production he has worked on a large variety of projects in film, video and audio and has won many national awards for his work.

He spend his first professional years as a full time performing stage musician working in a variety of venues from dance and jazz clubs to touring concert venues, playing rock to RnB to fusion jazz. He then expanded his music career to the studio where he worked as a recording musician, and in music production as a music producer/engineer. He then moved into film/video work and was soon producing, directing and editing music videos for early MTV.

His interest in film and video lead him to combine his creative skills with an entrepreneurial venture, and grew a commercial production company from a very small basement outfit to a successful full service facility and commercial production services provider. This was his first large facility with a drive in sound stage studio, 10 ton grip/lighting truck, video, audio, and 3d graphics suites. And a complement of sales/marketing, administrative and production support staff. His clients ranged from national and state government, and large advertising agencies to fortune 500 companies. Also, during this time he taught at American University in DC as an adjunct professor for a graduate course titled, "Directing Talent for Film and Video".

Joel then decided to return to his roots in music and creative entertainment and set up shop in a smaller but still very well equipped studio. He used the many skills he learned over the years in producing, writing, directing, music and audio and his design and production skills with motion graphics, complex compositing and 3d animation to experiment with creative treatment ideas he had been thinking about for many years. His first experiment was his first DVD title "World of Illusion". Then his first music CD compilation "Free the Love". Joel knew that these first projects were experimental and would most likely not bring financial success. However, this did provide invaluable experience that furthered his skills and concepts, preparing him for his next big project.

"I knew my experimental film "World of Illusion" was not going to fit into a large distributors catalog and earn significant income. There is no market yet created for this type of thing. But, the projects provided me the critical experience I needed to get my ideas, skills and confidence ready. I see it as the film school graduate experimental film I hadn't yet made."

Today Joel is working on that next big project. It is audience engaging entertainment content that is designed and produced from scratch in 3d stereo uncompressed, with a very dynamic 3d 5.1 soundtrack. It's a sci-fi, metaphysical-fantasy, action-adventure 3d stereoscopic feature length film set way in the far future year 3011. It was designed from story through production and post as a new form 3d stereo creative project.

"I call this "new form" because from inception my goal was to visualize the story and creative treatment first and foremost in 3d stereo, which allowed me the freedom to use the 3d stereo medium in a way that I have not yet seen. This creative treatment has also provided me with a way to tell a very high tech story which uses oodles of CGI and virtual world production, plus live action, in a way that is very effective yet the the normally very high cost of CGI for a project like this is kept to a surprisingly reasonable cost point.

Why did I choose 3d stereoscopic for my next project? Within the first 10 minutes of experiencing my first 3d stereo film "Avatar" I knew this was the next step in the evolution of motion picture making, and that I had to be part of it."

Joel is currently working on his new film and other projects for his clients at his 3d stereoscopic production facility and studio:
