JOSEPH KIELY, Director
With 16 years experience as a freelancer in the film and television industry Joseph has spent the last ten years working as Production Designer and Art Director. He has developed a deep understanding of the reality behind the processes that go into audio-visual production. Being responsible for the “look” of a production means that he often plays a very integral role in the process.
Starting out by studying both Visual Art and Drama (Cinema Studies) at University he began his career in film and television after a time as a Promotions and Marketing Manager in inner city real estate development and in retail. He worked his way up through the Art Department quickly gathering skills as he went.
He has enjoyed a level of success in his career. He has collaborated in the making of an extensive list of television commercials, video clips, tv shows and feature films.
He has enjoyed some recognition over the years being nominated for both Production Design and Art Direction awards nationally and internationally.
The greatest of this recognition came with the success of “Jerrycan” (Short Film) winner of the 2008 Cannes Jury Prize and then with “Yardbird” (Short Film) - in competition at this years Cannes film festival. Along with these films there has been a few other short films (which he calls art films or “films for the love of it.”) that have also gained inclusion in some of the Worlds great film festivals such as Berlin, Montreal, Paris, New York, London, Sydney and Sundance.
