Director - Joe Cornick

Joe's journey into filmmaking and photography began at a young age, driven by an insatiable curiosity for visual storytelling. At school, his passion for cinema led him to install 35mm projectors in his local community hall, where he organised monthly celluloid screenings. This hands-on experience not only deepened his love for traditional film but also connected him with key figures in the industry.

His dedication and passion landed him a sought after position at Panavision, London, where he spent three years immersed in the world of high-end cinematography. During this time, Joe honed his technical expertise while simultaneously working on a range of independent projects, refining his craft as both a cinematographer and director.

In 2024, Joe took the leap into freelance filmmaking by directing, producing, photographing and editing his debut documentary  Steel: The Blood Of Us and in 2025 he is the cinematographer on his first dramatic feature film at the age of twenty-two.
