Who is Joseph Anthony Davis?
Here is my story...
Professional video producer, editor, actor, and improvisational acting teacher. I am an optimist and creator hoping to make the world a better place through facilitating live events and entertainment of all kinds. I am a leader who shines positive energy on every project and person that I encounter. Let’s connect and discuss how we can foster creativity and growth to help this ever-changing and challenged culture.
ACTING
Hello, I am so thrilled to discover a love for acting in the last several years. During the pandemic, I started an Improv Troupe called HAPPENSTANCERY IMPROV that meets every week in New Paltz, New York both for acing workshops and exercises, and performing at Blueberry Field every weekend in. I also recently had my first SAG-AFTRA Speaking Role in a John Leguizamo mini series called "The Green Veil" and the lead role in Greg Bray's "Escapism". See an image from that here ----->
MOVIE MAKING
Directing is also my passion and I have been submitting my feature film called "The Way Through" to festivals around the country!
I have worked for HBO's Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin as the COVID Wellness Assistant. I was lucky to work on an Owen Wilson movie called Paint as the COVID Testing Admin which just came out. I am directing several music videos, short sketches with the Improv Troupe HAPPENSTANCERY, and planning a summer tour, and developing a TV show!
