Joe’s UPTOWN Movie Blog ®

aspires to share the positive nature of film and all its siblings (new media, radio, TV, theater) past, present, and future. Relating the old to the new and vice versa is the main objective of this blog. The reader should expect personal anecdotal stories, reviews and commentary. I hope you will have a good time.

About Joe

I have worked for almost 20 years in professional media from PR to TV to FILM and now the “WWW.” From an early age, that predates video games, the internet, and the like, I have had an intense fascination and interest in the arts - especially film. I believe I represent the best of both worlds - a fan and a working professional. I once said, I’d like to go to the Oscars…I went in 1997, or rather covered them professionally for a few years. Eventually this simple request led me to the Emmy, Golden Globe, and Grammy awards. Over the years, I have met celebrities and attended many events, always on a quest for more knowledge about the art form that thrills me, and always in awe of those who dare to dream, and inspire others to follow.

Currently, I am an MFA Graduate Student at American University in Washington, DC. who hopes to someday add professor to his list of accomplishments. I am a filmmaker and TV producer around the Washington, D.C. area.
