I was the co-director of photography for the entire first season of the new Middle Eastern reality show YallaNY! Production took place over 3 and 1/2 months through out New York. Using the Canon 5DMark3 and a simple lighting kit, we created an unique look and style to the show.

We made Russian Roulette for around £50. The hardest part of the film was keeping the visuals fresh for such a static location. The film recently won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance London's online short's competition. The film can be viewed on my website (http://www.darrenjoe.com/#/russian-roulette)

‘Eva’ follows a young couple, as they retrace their journey to the sea. The film inter-cuts between the two different timelines. The challenge was creating two different moods with the lighting and camera work to suit each of the moods.

'Odh' was shot in Maharashtra, India. Working with a completely Indian crew. We created a film which follows a young boy's journey to the sea, where he hopes to find his mother.

Orpheus’ Dream is a modern retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. With 'Orpheus' We tried to blur the lines between dreams and reality. The filming took place only over 14 days, but covered around 9 locations all around Paris, France.

When Noah accidentally loses Gemma's rabbit which leads to the rabbit's untimely death, Noah desperately tries to replace the rabbit to win the affection of Gemma. I strived to give ‘Popcorn’ a comic book feel by bringing out strong, saturated primary colors that help bring life to this dark comedy.

A young finds their relationship begins to falter as they realize that building a relationship can be just as difficult as building box furniture. With ’I'd Do the Laundry, You’d do the Dishes’, we tried to create a hyper-real color palette that help visualize the couple’s opposing personalities.

Haley and her younger brother Jacob live alone in an isolated cabin. One evening two men arrive unexpectedly seeking refuge. We built the interior of Haley and Jacob’s cabin on a sound stage in Camden. The exteriors of the films were shot in a forest in Thetford Forest, UK.
