About

Joel Vallie (not Valley) a Chicano (Mexican born in the United States) who now lives in Saltillo, Mexico where he makes films, commercials, TV shows and music videos. Joel Vallie first started making short comedy skits on VHS as a kid. During his teenage years, he made a couple of funny shorts but got his first break when he wrote and directed a TV pilot for a show called La Church.. That opened up the doors for him to film his first feature, a low budget film titled Corazon de Campeon. With almost no budget, Joel Vallie shows us that he can not only see a project through to completion, but also that he can direct a large group of first time actors and really make them shine. Joel is now in post-production for his next feature film, Beautiful Prison, and is also co-writing a Mexican horror film with Eric Machiela of Gorilla Pictures in the United States. He is also a host on the show IQ Review.
