THE DIRECTOR: When Joey Sylvester was a youngster back in Chicago, his parents had given him an inexpensive video camera as a gift. He carried it everywhere, shooting odd footage of the neighborhood, herding his friends from various lo cation to the next. Perhaps it was only childsplay, but Sylvester’s imagination had been activated. His youthful passion for imagemaking was rekindled.. Fast forward, Sylvester's directorial debut title: "In the Land of Opportunity" was an Amer ican selection at FESPACO 2009. Premiered in an outdoor arena in Burkina Faso, West Africa. The BBC World News produced a segment on his film. He was invited to a highly regarded screening series at The Gene Siskel Film Center. Barbara Scharres quoted his piece "An Impressive and WellCrafted Film". Since then, Sylvester's directed and produced six pictures with veteran actors such as: Sally Kirkland, Marla Gibbs, Louis Mandylor, Jason Stuart, Jeff Conaway, and Robert Catrini. He recently directed a TV pilot with Academy Award Winning Director James Moll, and obviously, the feature film "Walk a Mile in My Pradas".
