Joe Dietsch

DIRECTOR

Joe has had an active interest in film making since he was six years old, starting with a Hi8 camera, his friends, and Legos. He graduated from Chapman University’s film program and is currently working in Los Angeles as a director, editor, and writer on a variety of music videos, commercials, and long form projects. Clients include Chiptole, Wii, CBS Records, Universal Music, and many others. He directed, DP’d, and edited a feature documentary entitled “Maasai: At the Crossroads” which was shot primarily in Kenya, living with the Maasai tribes in the region. His short film “The Fourth Horseman” has also been touring recently at a number of film festivals. He has shot internationally in locations such as the above mentioned Kenya, as well as Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Beirut.

Additionally, his animated 30-second commercial for Chipotle, entitled “Origami”, won him the national grand-prize.

Joe’s background experience ranges from photography to acting to animation to special effects to editing, a range of interest that naturally leads to commercials and music videos.
