Original Biography

Joseph Eulo is an independent storyteller and freelance filmmaker working and studying in the Greater New York City Area.

He is the founder and CEO of First Frame Films, a collaborative production and design company based in Brooklyn made up of a diverse group of artists, actors, and filmmakers who share a passion for creating meaningful work that moves, entertains, and informs audiences.

Joseph earned a film production certificate from The School of Media Studies at The New School in 2012 and a Bachelor of Arts degree with a focus in Film Production from The New School for Public Engagement in 2013.

In 2010 he founded the New School Student Film Collective, an organization committed to fostering community among filmmakers within the college population. Two years later he created the Garden State Filmmakers Association and the Indie Film Collective of New Jersey and Greater New York — organizations dedicated to creating and encouraging community among actors, artists, and filmmakers.

Joseph is an experienced producer, director, DoP, sound mixer, and editor with over sixty-five narrative, documentary, music video, and commercial projects completed.

At the time, Joseph was pursuing a Master of Arts at The New School for Public Engagement, School of Media Studies, and producing and directing the first season of tráfico, a character-driven American crime drama about the dark and invisible side of human trafficking within the United States.
