Director Biography - Joseph Palmer

A native of El Paso, Texas and former successful independent consultant in the Retail Banking IT sector, I returned to acting and the world of film after suffering IT burnout and becoming financially comfortable in my new life in Galway, Ireland. Though acting and writing are my current passions, I do occasionally make attempts to dabble on the other side of the camera when the opportunity arises.

Director Statement

I love telling stories and I love film, plain and simple, and I want to tell stories that people enjoy. I want my approach to be that of a server where the viewers are my customers. I want them to leave in a better mood, even slightly, than when they came in.
