Editor
Joe Shapiro
Joe Shapiro is a self-described recovering computer geek. After a successful career in software (he was one of the developers of Vermeer’s FrontPage which was acquired by Microsoft in 1996), he returned to one of his earlier passions – acting. Some years later at the end of an indie film shoot, he found himself wondering what was going to happen to all that footage! So he got himself a “plum logging position” and caught the editing bug. During his eight years in post-production Joe has edited five independent features. Of those, four have won awards, three won top honors, two were in competition at Sundance, and one (Zoo) was in Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes. His editing has been praised by Scott Foundas of Variety and both James Greenberg and Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter. Like all good editors, Joe has a passion for story. Unlike most, he loves being on set. He has directed several award-winning shorts and is actively seeking a story or screenwriter to pen his first feature.

Original Oil Paintings
Winter Parkin
When I was very young I was given an ovaloid sheet of paper and assigned to paint an Easter egg. As is typical of an impatient and very eager Aquarius, I began without instruction.Once my blur of splattered, chaotic color was completed, my teacher began to demonstrate clean lines to my fellow creative disciples. Art is not what comes from instruction, but from inspiration. It is the purest form of God complex, which allows us to divide our spirit and create life on canvas.
