JOE SOON TO GRADUATE FROM USC

Joe is just nine credits away from graduating from the University of
Southern California (USC). In December he will officially receive his
Bachelors of Arts Degree in Cinema/Television. When asked how working
under such great directors as Steven Spielberg and Sir Richard
Attenborough helped prepare him for USC, Joe said "They inspired me in a
general sense in their passion and talent. I am going to have to find my
own style to really become successful and I think that I have." Joe has
learned a lot since entering USC in August of 2001. "I learned how to
work with other people to get a movie done, how things work on the other
side of the camera and that you need to always be good to the people
around you because they may be there to help you get started later."

Joe's USC films will be available for download soon on the Official
Joseph Mazzello Fan Page.

FILM CAMP

Joe spent July 25th through August 8th in Malibu, California at the
Digital Performing Arts Camp. As a mentor/camp counselor, Joe oversaw a
group of campers age 14 to 17 learning the art of film making. "We made
two five minute movies, both comedies, called 'The Cast' and 'Tracking
Tracy'. 'The Cast' was about two people in body casts who fall in love.
'Tracking Tracy' was about a guy who is trying to catch up with this
girl who jogs all the time so he can ask her out but he is too slow and
has to find a way to catch her." Some of the campers recognized Joe
immediately. By the end of the first day everyone in the camp knew who
he was. "Some people were really surprised and excited and couldn't
believe it. They made me watch Jurassic Park with them on the last day
and give an actors commentary for my scenes." In addition to film making
there were lots of the standard summer camp activities. "We played a lot
of volleyball and it got really intense because the counselors would
pick the teams and we would face each other in a round robin style
match-up. We won 11 in a row and quickly became hated. We were the
Yankees of film nerd camp volleyball." Joe had a lot of fun and plans to
keep in touch with the campers from his group.

"The Cast" and "Tracking Tracy" will soon be available for download from
the Official Joseph Mazzello Fan Page.

JOE'S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT

Joe has began pre-production on the short film "Matters of Life and
Death". He wrote the screenplay and will direct and star in the film.
The film is a drama which focuses on the different ways people deal with
death. "I'm making the film first and foremost because I love and
believe in the story. I think it could be really powerful as long as I
don't screw it up. I hope to use it to showcase my ability as a
director. There is a lot of me and my family in the characters but there
is also a lot that I took liberty with." The copyrights of films made by
students at USC belong to the University. That limits where the film
makers can get the films shown and how they're eventually distributed.
There's also a certain amount of control USC will exert over the
production of film made by students. "The story is important to me.
That's why I'm making this film outside of USC. I want to own the film
and have control over how it is made. I want it to be more than a
student film. I want to make it right."

Joe is really enthusiastic about "Matters of Life and Death" and wants
to address all of you directly about it. So tomorrow we'll be forwarding
all the fan club members an email from Joe.


Thanks for reading and have a great day.
