An autistic teen realizes his dream of running away with the Circus after facing a life changing event.

This was a very challenging yet extremely rewarding film to create during the filming restrictions of COVID -19. Eventually, the stars aligned and I managed the daunting task of filming in 6 days during the first weekends of the next school year and sports seasons. I had the incredible support from my family and friends to help achieve my vision. I really hope you enjoy and perhaps figure out the murderer!

Uncle Joe is a film that champions "silent" no dialogue films for the next generation. As an African-American filmmaker, I wanted to illustrate that kids share similar experiences and that we are more alike than we are different. I casted Eastern European and Russian speaking children to lead in this silent comedy to make this point. The entire production crew and cast were kids aged 6-16 and all contributed to make this a universal experience. I hope children from every upbringing smile and enjoy my first film.

Two friends plan a very special surprise for their friend's birthday.
