Joe Sikoryak is an award-winning director of short narrative and commercial films. A graduate of the film program at San Francisco State University, he combines the influences of theater, journalism and design to tell stories that are visually rich and emotionally compelling.
"D for DOCs" is based on my experience as a teacher and mentor. It would have been easy to have fun at the expense of beginning filmmakers and their first attempts at storytelling. Better, I thought, to tell the story of characters struggling to express themselves, with a mix of emotional truth and cinematic spectacle (at least, the sort of spectacle that can be credibly achieved on a community college budget!) The result is a film that's relatable to anyone with an interest in filmmaking.
