About Me

Joe is a husband, a dad, and a documentary filmmaker with a passion for helping people tell their own stories in their own words. He lives with his family in Water Valley, Mississippi, a quiet little town in northern Mississippi, in a house built in 1872.

From 2005 to 2015, Joe worked as a documentary filmmaker at the University of Mississippi’s Southern Documentary Project and the Southern Foodways Alliance. Over that decade, I produced over 50 short films and four feature length films focused on the culture, food, music, history, and social issues of the American South.

Since then, he’s launched Panola Pictures where he’s produced short films and commercial spots for Garden & Gun, the Southern Foodways Alliance, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Kentucky Departments of Tourism, among others.
