TESTIMONIALS

"I have known Andre since he was in high school at the New York Film Academy's Summer Filmmaking Workshop at the Dalton School in Manhattan. Even then Andre was ambitious, serious and committed to learning all that her could do to be successful. Through the years he has shown himself to be committed to hard work and mastering the mechanics of the medium."

- Booker T. Mattison, Award Winning Director of The Gilded Six Bits

"When I think of integrity, kindness, and professionalism, I think of Andre' Joseph. I first met Andre' back in 2008 year when he cast me as a mouthy waitress in his film, 'Priceless', along with actor, Robert Clohessy. The challenges that go along with an indie film, did not limit Andre. His ability to get things done with a calm, kind professional nature made Andre's film set an enjoyable experience. I have the upmost respect for Andre' and always look forward to being part of anything he is creating."

- Lisa Regina, Actress & Acting Coach

"Andre is a fantastic Director. He has talent beyond belief for someone so young and just starting out. I saw his gifts as an Actress and as part of the Industry. He guides the actors to act out of truth and purpose. He welcomes new actors with grace and intelligence.
I would recommend hiring Andre for your next project as a producer, associate, assistant director...or anywhere else in your creative team! He would be an incredible asset to any production...large and small!"

-Elena Swan, Actress

"His experience as a filmmaker has made him an effective communicator and organizer which would make him a valuable asset on any film or television production. What is most important about Andre is his desire to continue learning the process of production from highly professional directors and producers. His compassion for social causes is an added asset."

- Dr. Robert Goldman, Restorative Solution

“Andre´ is one of the most warm, hard working and talented director, writer and editors I have worked with. He puts his gifts and abilities in any project he is hired to work on.”

- Blake LeVine, director of the documentary RAP THERAPY, Author, and Life Coach.

"I can’t say enough great things about Andre´ Joseph. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on several projects. Andre is creative, passionate and has superb technical skills. He is a true professional and a super friendly guy to boot! I would recommend Andre´ for any project that requires a dedicated, intelligent and quality professional. I look forward to working with him again."

- Tina Siciliano, Actor, Singer, Songwriter

"Andre´ Joseph was the Director of Photography on two of my films. Our feature, "LEO JOHN AIN'T DEAD NO MORE and short, LOVE IN FOUR PANELS. I'm proud to say both movies have been well received on the film festival circuit. We shot the feature in 9 days. That can only be accomplished if everyone is working together in perfect synch. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Andre´ on these projects. Not only does he bring a lot of technical knowledge to the set. He's a really great guy. And when you're working long hours on a movie. You want good people around you."

- Jim Harkins, Kins Productions.

“Andre´ Joseph has gone above and beyond in helping to shape my vision for the video content of Vintage New York City Magazine. He’s spontaneous, full of ideas, and incredibly supportive. His talent as an editor and a videographer provides great quality for our business.”

- Amelia Meloni, Editor-in-Chief of Vintage NYC Magazine & Public Relations/Amelia Meloni PR Inc.

"Andre Joseph is a Talented, kind, efficient, reliable, honest, trustworthy man of his word. Andre and I have been friends for over a decade and he has always stayed consistent and productive in his career and with his friendships. Andre and I have worked several times together in several projects and I have always been pleased with his follow through and creativity. I highly would recommend Andre's skills and ability's as he continues to not only talk about but make his dreams come true!"

- Aesha Waks, Award Winning Actress

"I was one of the lucky ones who got to work with André Joseph on the movie "Tempted" and never had so much fun in my life. As a director he was extremely clear on what he wanted, but yet so open minded to ideas. He made sure everyone that was working with him was taken care of, and comfortable. His professionalism towards the cast and crew was always at the perfect level. If you ever have the chance to work with him, do not pass it up because he is not only fantastic to work for, he is going places! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you, André!"

- Kathryn Mary Wood, Actress/Model (Tempted)

"I have had the recent honor of working with Andre Joseph. It was one of the most self gratifying moments in my career where I was allowed artistic freedom that I have not experienced in recent memory. As a performer, I can only hope to work with him again in the future projects so that hopefully I can have the same experience that I was allowed in this last project that I cannot wait to see."

- Bryan Williams, Award Winning Actor (Vendetta Games)
