Filmmaker Bio:

Joel Miller began a promising career in the entertainment industry at the age of 4 when on a trip to the mall with his parents they were approached by agent Dorothy Day Otis. He soon had steady modeling work in ad campaigns for Macy's, Sears, and several other companies. After graduating from UCSB in 1998 at the age of 20 with a degree in Art History, Joel quickly resumed working in the entertainment industry. After working in the art department on numerous feature films, Joel took a break from film to work at Brian Reeves recording studio, The Jungle Room. While at the studio, Joel worked with a wide variety of acts, from Poison to Billy Idol. Desiring a change of pace, he decided to get out of the studio and onto the road. Touring with bands as a carpenter, lighting technician and/or stage manager he toured with Stone Temple Pilots Red Hot Chili Peppers , 'Guns N Roses', Fishbone, Godsmack, Disturbed, Poison , Warrant, Quiet Riot, and many others. While working for The Cranberries in Puerto Rico, Joel's father was rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest, his last words being "help me Joel." When he got back to Los Angeles his mother, father, and grandfather were all in intensive care with various medical problems. As one can imagine this weighed very heavily on Joel and in order to spend more time with his family he no longer tours. As the founder of Albion Entertainment, he is currently pursuing a career as a writer, producer, director, and manager. The companies newest project is 'The Still Life.'
