Rechtman

Growing up in New York’s Hudson Valley, Joe fell in love with storytelling at a young age. He wrote his first novel and feature screenplays in high school, and began studying filmmaking through the Jacob Burns Film Center’s “Unscripted” program. He then earned his B.F.A. in film production—with a focus on screenwriting—from Emerson College in Boston.

After graduating in 2011, Joe has worked in the entertainment industry ever since. He is the screenwriter of three feature films, as well the writer & director of several shorts that have screened at film festivals across the country.

In addition to screenwriting and filmmaking, Joe has more than a decade of professional experience writing a variety of media, including comic books, novels, YouTube videos, commercials, and blogs.

He is currently raising funds to direct his first feature film: THE ENCAMPMENT.
