Filmmaker • Professor • Dog Owner

 Joe LaRocca has been making videos since high school. He created a small film team under the name Top Feeg Productions - It was later changed to LaRoccaFilms as Joe's ego got out-of-control. In addition, Joe found it difficult to explain what a Feeg was, a spelling mistake? Once in an important job interview Joe was asked what "Top Feed was all about ?" He started laughing. He did not get the position. 
     Later, he attended Boston College ('05) where he received a BA in Film Studies. During college he participated in many film competitions like the 48 Hour Film Project and National Film Challenge where he witnessed the magic of showing his work to an audience. During the summers Joe would work as a Teaching Assistant and eventually as an Instructor for the New York Film Academy at Harvard University. 
      After "living" in New York City for a "year" Joe decided to attend Boston University where he got a MFA in Film Production. Once he completed his thesis short film One Track Mind he took up a job as Production Manager at WinCAM, a community access television station. In this position he got hands on experience with TV equipment and live shoots, as well as teaching a wide age range of students. Joe is currently teaching Filmmaking I & II at Boston College. He is also Head of Videography at Brunner Communications. He continues his work on short films and various projects. It never ends....
