Joe’s innovative hitRECord.org collaborative production company openly encourages and works with creative people of every type worldwide. Its Pivot cable TV series “hitRECord ON TV” won an Emmy Award in 2014 for its first season of episodes. Its second season has been airing on Pivot.
Tasha is a co-founder and CEO of Fellow Robots, a robotics company based at NASA Research Park in the Silicon Valley, CA. She has a Masters from USC and has taught about robotics, artificial intelligence, and other technologies at the university level. “She is a director of the Ten to the Ninth Plus Foundation, an organization focused on empowering exponential technological change worldwide.” An area of interest is “how technology can facilitate and enhance creativity.”
Joe stars in 3 major films scheduled for later this year. The first 2 noted here are fact-based, each a true story.
He is “Phillippe Petit” in THE WALK, exploring the renowned French high-wire artist as he prepares for his 1974 attempt to cross on a strung cable between the 110-story Twin Towers of New York City’s World Trade Center.
The movie is due out in IMAX and 3D on Oct. 9. A theatrical trailer can be viewed at:

Joe plays the title role in director Oliver Stone’s SNOWDEN, about the former Army soldier / CIA intelligence analyst / NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who released 1000s of classified government documents to the media in 2013.
Its release is Dec. 25. A theatrical trailer can be seen at:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3774114/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Joe is “Ethan” in the holiday comedy THE NIGHT BEFORE, joining his colleague Seth Rogen. Synopsis: “In New York City for their annual tradition of Christmas Eve debauchery, 3 lifelong best friends set out to find the Holy Grail of Christmas parties since their yearly reunion might be coming to an end.” Another description: “A drug-fueled comedy about 3 childhood best friends who have spent every Christmas Eve for the past decade-plus partying in a completely debauched haze. As they all enter far more adult phases of life – career and impending family being pretty good reasons for the party to end – the trio decides to go all-out one last time. Presumably a lot of fun and a lot of life lessons ensue.”
It’s slated for release Nov. 25 (the day before Thanksgiving). .
The official theatrical trailer is a “red-band,” meaning “the material may be offensive” to some and is considered “inappropriate for audiences under the age of 17” (adult themes, language, images). It can be viewed at
