Available to hire
My name is Joe Gould.
I am a postgraduate filmmaker with hands-on experience across writing, directing, music composition, camera, sound, editing, visual effects, acting, production assistance, and 1st assistant directing. I enjoy practical problem solving and collaborating in fast-paced environments to bring ideas to life on screen.
I’ve trained at West Suffolk College and the University of Westminster, combining formal study with real-world projects like music videos, documentaries, and immersive exhibitions. I’m passionate about storytelling, creative technology, and mentoring others in filmmaking.
