Joseph Calabrese

Armed with a few friends and an old “Super 8” camera, Joseph Calabrese spent most of his youth making short films. In the 1980’s and 90’s, he worked in various crew assignments on several television, industrial and indy features in the North East, as well as helming his own projects.

Currently, he teaches a Screenwriting Workshop in NYC and is a freelance Digital Artist, expert in Avid, FCP, 3D Studio Max, DVD Studio Pro, Photoshop and After Effects.

As a working Screenwriter, he took 3rd place in 2003 Slamdance's Slam-Fi for his sci-fi, religious thriller SECOND COMING. As a result, he received rewrite assignments for the med-budget sci-fi comedy, HOW ILLEGAL IS YOUR ALIEN, and the low-budget horror film, HOOKED.

His newest spec, THE EYES OF MARA is getting some buzz. It has received...

“With over two decades of film & video experience, I not only write stories, which I feel are thoughtful and compelling, but ones, which fall within the expectations and constraints of realistic production mechanics and budgets.”
