Director: Joe Miale

While still in the dawn of his career, Joe Miale has directed television spots which have aired on network affiliates in major US markets, edited a theatrical trailer for a world-acclaimed director, and even found limited TV distribution for his student films.

When he was only eight years old, Joe began taking private visual arts lessons in oils, pastels, pen & ink. By ten he was making movies with borrowed camcorders, and had written hundreds of pages of unfinished novels. At eighteen he began study at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts film program, where he learned to incorporate the principles of visual arts into a motion picture narrative.

Joe's first directing gig came while he was still a student, when he was hired to create an introductory video for NYU with his long-time collaborator, Declan Mulvey. After film school, Joe quickly worked his way up the editing ranks in New York City, first cutting at the Fox News Channel, then moving on to indie features (Moment in Time) and theatrical trailers (Jean-Luc Godard's In Praise of Love.)

With his focus set on working as a professional director, Joe directed a web video for the Copyright Association of America before moving on to TV spots (Macy's, Bloomingdales) and music videos (Endless.)
