Top Ten Movies From Producer Michael Joy

10. I was a producer on Ash Hamilton’s Holes in the Sky: The Sean Miller Story. This was one of my proudest marketing campaigns as we kept the press coming for over a year. We had a great payoff in the festival circuit, winning the mosts awards ever in the found footage category, breaking the record previously held by ‘The Blair Witch Project’.

In July of 2013 Sean Miller disappeared for four days. Seven years later a documentary film crew found out why.

9. I was associate producer on They Turned Us Into Killers from Lux Angeles Films. It was great working with Philadelphia native Tom Walton and his production partner, award-winning producer, Jared Safier. I worked alongside Gravitas Ventures on this film’s marketing campaign. The film stars Scout Taylor-Compton (Rob Zombie’s Halloween), Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th franchise), and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes).

Karma is assaulted by her boyfriend, BJ, which leads to her committing suicide. Star hunts down BJ and his brothers, and begins to torture them, while reading to them Karma’s suicide letter, before taking each of their lives.

8. I teamed up with Shawn C. Phiilips as co-executive producer on the Christmas horror film, Mistletoe Massacre. The film stars Todd Bridges (Different Strokes) and social media influencer, Lauren Francesca.

Marion Callevero has her guest list checked twice to host the company Christmas event, but gifts quickly turn to gore. This struggling staff has been invited to the party but no one will be returning home for the holidays.

7. I was associate producer on Mario Cerrito’s cannibal franchise, Human Hibachi: The Beginning. It’s great working with Mario and being a part of the creative process from start to finish. This is a short film that explores the origin of Human Hibachi.

A brutal look at how Jin and the Human Hibachi films got their start in Japan.

6. I’m excited to join team Ash Hamilton once again as producer. This time for his take on the apocalypse with F’d: Tales From The End Times. This is an anthology that brings the brightest indie directors together with a common goal, the end of the world and they do it magnificently.  Robert LaSardo’s performance is chilling.

Tells a number of stories that take place on the day in which our world comes to its end.

5.  I’m producer along with Mario Cerrito and John DiRenzo in the horror film, The House In The Pines. We build this scary tale from the ground up.

A classic horror movie with that ’80s slasher style and a dash of paranormal. A group of high school friends visit the NJ Pine Barrens for a summer getaway.

4. I’m producer on the international film, Space Goblins from filmmaker, Amer Shihab.   Amer has brought me into the fold, and I’m privileged to see the creative process in real time.   This film is truly going to be special.

Having been living off the grid for the last decade, Bounty hunters Gib and Gob find themselves being called back into action for what could be their very last assignment.

3.  I’m associate producer on Bitter Souls from Showtown American Picture’s Ed McKeever.  I’m excited to come in on the ground floor of this project and help create the magic.   This film stars Michael Hargrove (Candyman) and up and coming starlet, Avaryana Rose.

After a tragic accident a teenage girl is resurrected with the use of black magic. She uses her new-found powers to exact vengeance on her tormentors.

2. I’m producer on Piglet, which is a horror journey into the world of Winnie of Pooh and it’s fantastic.   I appreciate Kevin Millikin for bringing me on board the film at the very beginning.   It’s incredible to work with all the creative minds involved in making this movie, including Dr.Chud from the legendary punk rock band, The Misfits.

Deep in the remote Appalachian hills, lives Piglet. The son of a once industrious butcher and marred by tragedy, Piglet’s solitary life is shattered when fame-hungry millennials trespass onto his land. They hope to capture paranormal activity on their struggling YouTube channel. In a foolish bid to manufacture exploitation, one of them slaughters Piglet’s beloved pig. Little do they know; they’ve just incurred the wrath of a vengeful killer. Incensed, Piglet brutally dispatches the trespassers one by one, displaying savage power.

1. I’m producer on DEAD afterlife which is a mash up of a ghost story and a zombie movie.   I’m currently looking for a team to take this journey with me.

Imagine watching your own funeral as a ghost and then the unthinkable happens, your undead body climbs out of your coffin and starts killing and eating your friends and family. Pharmaceutical Scientist, Donald Conlee faces this conundrum after he’s murdered and is administered his own “Awake”, super drug. His death was only the beginning of his problems. The Gatekeeper has given Donald a time limit to return his Zombie self to the ground – or else his soul can never gain entrance into Heaven. To complicate matters, he finds out that his murderer is at the funeral and his girlfriend is in grave danger. How can a couple of disgruntle gravediggers and a hearse driver help Donald’s lost soul find the way? Or maybe the real question is how can the spirit world defeat the living dead?
