Experiencing Interruptions?

Detestable Practices

There is lightness and darkness within us all. Earl has been pushed to the edge and the darkness is filling his thoughts. His wife has become obsessed with Judgement Day ... and has left herself open to the darkness of jealousy and hate. Evil is rising within them both, but who will control it and who will give in to the darkness?

Director Biography - Joe Rosenberger

Joe started this film and video journey for real in 2016 with the short film (and 3rd place finisher of the 30 Day Film Challenge) "Peek-a-Boo RUN!". It had been a thought and dream many, many (and we mean many) years prior to do film work ... and now it's coming to a realization.
In 2017 he had the opportunity to work with Nicole Ordes on her first music video for her cover of La La Land's "City of Stars" and promotional videos for the band Cross Junction as well as the small business Soul Shine Hand Stamped Rings. He's also beginning the long road of production on a documentary about running.
And, to that, Joe is training for his first Ultra Marathon, is a husband to the wonderful Jen Shtab, step father, father ... and drum roll please ... grandfather. (Crazy ... the guy is like 20-something. Ok, maybe with a few years experience added in) In addition to that, he still gets behind a set of drums, makes some music electronically, and loves to be outdoors ... especially on or by the water.

Director Statement

This project, "Detestable Practices" was a blast to be a part of. The cast was amazing and Anna brought the 'creature' home to help bring all these lives who were in my mind, and on paper, into a breathing, moving reality. I sincerely hope you enjoy the wackiness that lies within.
