BIOGRAPHY
OF JOE VALENTI
President
- Valenti Vision Films, Inc.
 Joe Valenti, born, raised and current
resident of
New Jersey, made known his love of filmmaking at the early age of thirteen with his first
mock movie titled “Triple Threat”. Following
his high school years Valenti attended
Monmouth
University
where he majored in television production and minored in popular music.
During his years at Monmouth, Joe also attended
New York
University
as part of the
School
of
Continuing Education
focusing on film production. After
leaving NYU, Valenti decided to embark on his first feature film venture which
was titled “Lying Beside You” and Valenti Vision Films was born.
This 16mm feature film was produced for the incredible low budget of
$17,000. The film consisted of a
home-made dolly, innovative independent filmmaking skills, an original
soundtrack and no crew. After
winning an honorable mention for best independent feature film at the Wilmington
Film Festival, Valenti stated it was an honor to win such an award especially
being that the winning film had a $1.2 million budget.
So much for the term: independent filmmaking.
Joe Valenti has worked for AT&T's
ISNN, The
Meadowlands, The Comcast Network, MSNBC, HBO and Time Warner.
Recently, Valenti was awarded two Crystal Vision Awards and eleven Telly Awards for various works. His experience
and award recognition ranges from producing, directing, writing, editing,
graphics design, lighting and set design. His
musical abilities contribute to his filmmaking as he constantly composes music
for his projects. This past year Joe Valenti produced, wrote, directed, shot and
edited an action/adventure series for AT&T titled "The hacking
Chronicles". Three episodes tallying up to a feature length film were
shot for roughly $100,000 and included chase scenes, gun battles, helicopters
and an exploding vehicle. Valenti’s next project, “The Foursome” will begin
shooting fall of 2007 and will hopefully be a continuance of a long line of motion
pictures from Valenti Vision Films.
