Joey's held a passion for filmmaking from a very young age. Starting with a significant creative role in producing independent short films that began on Youtube, the team has moved into independent financing to produce an original feature soon. Under the production name KoenigPeckels the trio was formed in 2010. Initially with his brother and cousin, both of whom are still pursuing the entertainment industry, the three focused on genre films mostly, horror and action. While at the start, Joey saw the film medium as something he enjoyed; a place to be expressive. More or less what started as childhood fun, persisted into adulthood as a solidified passion.
Time in College garnered more on-set experience working as an Assistant Camera or PA before broadening out to things like Post Production Sound Design, Editing. He also has gained experience on four CSUN thesis films as an art director, production designer and assistant in set dressing. Nearing graduation at CSUN, Joey is still very passionate about Writing and Directing.
Joey is currently working in Los Angeles as a Freelance Production Assistant on commercials, film, and television: looking for more development roles or on set directing experience.
