About the Film: “Bliss” is the culmination of over 20 years of filmmaker Joe Maggio’s filmmaking experience – cinematic discoveries and creative breakthroughs. In the spirit of Michael Apted's 7-UP series and Richard Linklater's “Boyhood,” Maggio reunited with Clint Jordan, the star of the stories debut feature film “Virgil Bliss,” to pick up Virgil's story over twenty years later. In many ways, Virgil's journey has mirrored the filmmaker’s own journey – both set out with the best and purest of intentions, but somehow, either through fate or luck, always seem to get knocked a little off course. “Bliss” is the second film in a planned Virgil Bliss Trilogy. It also marks Maggio’s return to the filmmaking philosophy of “Incidental Cinema.” Incidental films are films made with total creative freedom. An incidental film can be commercially exploited, but market considerations play no part in its actual creation.
The Film’s Stars: Clint Jordan (Film Independent Spirit Award Nominee for “Virgil Bliss,” and TV series’ “American Crime Story,” “This is Us”), Faryl Amadeus (Spielberg Fellow and her upcoming feature film “Any Sign At All”), Juan Fernandez (“Crocodile Dundee,” A Man Apart”), and David Yow (“The Toxic Avenger,” “I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore”).
About the Director: Joe Maggio is an award-winning writer/director. His work has screened in festivals and museums around the world, including Slamdance, Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, MoMA, LA Film Festival, The Museum of the Moving Image, The Paley Center for Media, and The Boston Museum of Fine Arts. He has collaborated with Vincent D'Onofrio on three radio plays as part of the “Tales From Beyond the Pale” series presented and curated by Larry Fessenden from Glass Eye Pix. In 2006, he founded Incidental Films, a production company devoted to making “Incidental Cinema” - ultra-indie films that favor narrative truth and creative freedom above all else. He has taught at NYU in the Film and Dramatic Writing departments, and is currently on the faculty of Emerson College where he teaches directing. He is currently developing a ten-film series, “No Other Gods,” inspired by Krystof Kieszlowski’s “Dekalog.”
