Joseph Stephans

Joseph's love for film began in the movie theaters of the Twin Cities with his father. 2001: A Space Odyssey, the original In-Laws, and a supremely bizarre film starring Tony Curtis called, The Manitou, are some memorable and formative examples of his early exposure to cinema. Joseph began his career during New York's independent film wave of the 90's on the Abel Ferrara low budget, black & white, star-filled vampire film, The Addiction. His next job was Die Hard With A Vengeance. Joseph has worked on over 30 films along with several TV series and commercials in a variety of environments ranging from the Virgin Islands to the White Mountains to Amish country to the inner-city. Whether it is the ultra low budget (Girls Town), the mid-budget (Requiem For A Dream) or the colossal budget (The Good Shepherd), Joe has been helping filmmakers achieve their visions for twenty years. He lives with his wife and two kids in Park Slope, Brooklyn where he occasionally still laces up the skates and plays the guitar, though never at the same time.
