Personal details
- Professions: Producer, Writer, Director
Joseph Barmettler, a filmmaker rooted in the chaos and creativity of Los Angeles, has been all over the map when it comes to film and TV. He got his hands dirty producing the summer flick "Beach Kings" (some folks might remember it as "Green Flash"), tossing David Charvet, Torrey Devitto, and Kristin Cavallari onto the sand for a classic beach drama under the MGM banner. Total summer vibes. Then there’s "Alien Secrets," which is basically indie weirdness at its best, and you’ll find it floating around thanks to Warner Home Entertainment. But Joseph’s not just about producing—he’s been the brains behind the writing and direction for TNT’s "L.A. Heat," a wild, action-packed ride with Steven Williams, Wolf Larsen, and even Sugar Ray Leonard getting in on the fun. Guy’s got his fingerprints all over that show as supervising writer, producer, and director. Not many can juggle all that. His screenwriting chops? HBO’s "Rage" had him on the world premiere map, and he kept the sci-fi coming with Universal’s "Silencers" and the straight-up urban chaos of "Riot." Toss in "Timelock" and the darkly hilarious "Pure Danger"—it’s honestly a buffet of genre-hopping. On the TV side, Joseph’s rolled out everything from the Emmy-winning docuseries "Adoption Stories" on Discovery Health, to TLC’s heartfelt "A Personal Story," and even the post-tornado rebuild saga "Making It Home: Greensburg." Oh, and let’s not forget the biker-fueled exploits of "One Percenters" on Bio Channel. The guy’s got range—like, a mile wide.
reference nSo, there's this one character who’s basically glued to their camera, always lurking around the edges of scenes, snapping away or filming whatever chaos is unfolding. It's like they’re not just part of the story—they’re documenting it, maybe even shaping how we see everything. Sometimes you catch them capturing moments when the rest of the gang has no idea they’re being watched, which adds this kinda sneaky, voyeuristic vibe to things. The camera isn’t just a prop, either; it’s almost like an extra character. The whole movie gets sprinkled with shots from this lens, so you end up seeing a bunch of things from their perspective. It’s clever, really—blurring the line between the audience and the action, pulling you in closer. And let's be real, it also means you never quite know what’s genuine and what’s being staged for the camera. Keeps things interesting, you know?
