Joe Lares is an independent filmmaker, photographer, and cheese enthusiast based in sunny San Francisco, CA, where he lives with his scientist wife and two cats, Yoshi and Whiskey (editor’s note: he uses the term ‘sunny’ loosely here) . He enjoys making films, listening to jazz, photography, playing sax, marching bands, wine, his wife, cats, long walks on the beach, bawdy drinking songs, tech, and charged philosophical arguments that lead nowhere... and his work shows it.
