Joe Grasso
Director of Photography
As a Philly-based director of photography, I continue to gravitate toward projects with a soul, but even more so, ones with people I truly connect with. It’s so important to be on the same page as the director when it comes to vision and values. When we’re finishing each other’s sentences and sharing the same brain, I know we’re in a good spot. I also strive for that same shorthand with the crew to keep things as efficient as possible. I’ve shot documentary features, narrative shorts, national commercials, and even a Netflix special.
Barkers
