Biography

Raised in New York, Joe Miale saw a UFO when he was 10. Joe studied film at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, then began directing TV spots for Macy's and Bloomingdale's. For DoSomething.org (the country's largest non-profit for young people and social change) Joe created a Telly Award-winning PSA campaign, directing more than 25 PSAs featuring Rihanna, the Jonas Brothers, Usher, Kristen Bell, Jordan Sparks, Hayden Christensen, Justin Long, and more. Now in its seventh year, the campaign has garnered hundreds of millions of media impressions. Additionally, Joe has written, directed and edited PSA campaigns for Participant Media and their Oscar-nominated documentary Food, Inc. and Brett Morgen's critically-acclaimed documentary Chicago 10, featuring Martin Sheen, Natalie Portman, Julia-Louis Dreyfus, Raven Symone, Adam Goldberg, Eric Balfour, and more. Joe's work has won seven Telly Awards, including three for his Gatorade spec Keeps You Going.

In television, Joe has edited reality shows for SpikeTV and SyFy, including Who Wants To Be a SuperHero? and served as Co-Executive Producer on World's Wildest Vacation Videos for truTV. Joe co-produced and edited two feature films: TKO featuring Dianna Agron from Glee, and Don't Fade Away featuring Ryan Kwanten from True Blood. On the strength of his VFX-heavy original sci-fi short Decibel, Joe recently sold his original series GameWorld to Machinima, and has written and directed the pilot episode to air on Machinima Prime later this year. Machinima has also hired Joe to write and direct live-action short films for two blockbuster video games, Half-Life and Assassin's Creed. Joe lives in Los Angeles, where he is still looking for UFOs.
