Joe got his start making videos on YouTube as MysteryGuitarMan, where Joe honed his skills behind the camera, earning commercial directing opportunities while attracting millions of subscribers and racking up hundreds of millions of views. Joe's pivot to make his first feature film ARCTIC was filled with trial and error, experimentation, consulting with experts, and building a stellar team. Learn how Joe convinced Mads Mikkelsen to sign on, how to survive a punishing shoot in the arctic, and how getting something special in the "can" led him to premiere in Cannes!
