SOLO (in development)

I loved working with Joe. He does his homework, and runs a calm set (even in the middle of a hurricane!). His passion is the fuel for his work, creating smart, heartfelt films.

Working with Joe is a joy! He is calm and clear on the set and in post production. He communicates easily and openly and stays true to the creative fire of his vision resulting in films that are moving, intelligent and uplifting.

Joseph Greco has many skills that are invaluable to the directing process. He creates a safe—and therefore highly creative—environment for actors, whether on a sound stage or a movie set. He has clarity about the material (his own or that of another writer), and he is able to communicate that clearly to actors and crew alike. With a firm hand, he is also receptive to discoveries along the way. His process brings depth, authenticity, and truth to the material, and helps elevate the work for everyone involved.

— Barbara Bain, three-time Primetime Emmy Award-winning actress known for Mission: Impossible and Space: 1999.
