Joe has a mastery of both the business and creative end of entertainment, and each of these enhances the other. He is a true man of the arts. He understands structure, he understands the acting process, and he has a large dramatic and theatrical vision. I think his contribution to our field will be enormous. I also know Joe as a human being. He is a great guy. He is patient and warm and kind and boundlessly intelligent.

Joe is a great producer who keeps your feet to the fire and refuses to let you give up. He is a passionate realist who loves the world of entertainment.

Hiring Joe as the producer of my latest film was possibly the best decision I made beyond writing the script itself. His ability to foresee problems before the arise is mindboggling; Joe went so far as setting a meeting with a DP seven days before principle photography was to commence, he did this even though I has already locked in a DP. Two days after that meeting the DP I had hired dropped out without warning. If Joe hadn’t done what he had done I have no idea what that ultimate outcome for the film would have been. Joe’s ability to handle everything from casting, to working with vendors, to finding locations, hiring crew, and then tirelessly negotiating costs while working with a limited budget was critical. Joe put the whole thing together and surpassed the expectations I had originally set – I could not have made Butterfly without him.

Joe is a tenacious producer who has worn almost every hat in the industry; there is no aspect of production that is beyond his grasp. It is invaluable to walk onto set and know everything has been taken care of beforehand, and even more so valuable is to have a producer who can handle unforeseen elements – Joe is that guy.
