Highlights
-
Alex Dewhirst (Camera Operator)
Joe is extremely passionate about what he does and he knows how to do it well. I have been on shoots with him and the minute he arrives on set, the anarchy turns into ordered serenity. Everyone suddenly knows what's happening, when it is happening and who is doing what. He has the film well and truly at heart in all of his decisions and is not frightened to tell a stubborn director that it's time to move on. I highly recommend him, and I would hate to start a long haul project without his guidance.
