Joe Chavez

Born in California, but raised in Tucson, Arizona, Joe is a passionate filmmaker who always strives to entertain audience members, and one of his toughest critics, is his own mother. He is proud to be the first in his Peruvian family to be born in the U.S. One of Joe’s biggest dreams is to shoot a film in the grandiose lands of Machu Picchu.

This past winter, he was given the opportunity by The Creative Coalition to intern for the 2015 Sundance Film Festival. After graduation, Joe plans to travel to visit family in Peru before returning home to continue on his journey in the filmmaking industry.
