About

 
Profile.jpg

Hi, my name is Joe. I do have a wife and two kids, but - alas - I don't work at a button factory. I make documentary films, and am the founder of Automatic Pilots Films.

My first documentary Within Reach: The Fight To Finish Cancer, which I produced and co-directed, was nominated for a 2023 regional Emmy by NATAS Northwest. I am currently producing and directing the upcoming documentary Unmatched: The Team that Changed the Beautiful Game.

In addition to filmmaking, I have nearly two decades of experience in video production, social media, creative direction, strategic communications, and media relations. In short, I help tell stories. In video, on social networks, through earned media - if there’s a story out there, I can come up with a great way to tell it. 

I have a master’s degree in multimedia journalism from University of Oregon and and undergraduate degree from University of Portland. I live in Portland, Oregon, and also own Kuffner Creative, a boutique digital marketing agency.

I am currently available for freelance projects, and would love to connect with you!
