On set in Johannesburg
Joe Miale [Me-Ah-Lee], writer-director, he/him. His debut feature REVOLT is an original alien invasion thriller starring Lee Pace. Called “a sturdy feature directing debut” by the LA Times, REVOLT was released in theaters(!) and is now streaming everywhere.
With a childhood background in visual arts, Joe cut his teeth at NYU film school. He directed commercial campaigns for Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s, and music videos for That Noise and Woven. His viral sci-fi short film DECIBEL led to directing the high-concept pilot GAMEWORLD for Machinima, along with Telly-winning short films for two blockbuster video games: HALF-LIFE and ASSASSIN’S CREED.
Joe has also co-created award-winning celebrity PSA campaigns for NOH8, DoSomething.org, and Participant Media, directing over 40 ads featuring Martin Sheen, Natalie Portman, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Jonas Brothers, Bradley Whitford, Alyssa Milano, and Rihanna.
Joe is repped by UTA, Barry Littman at HJTH, and manager Scott Carr.
