In Los Angeles, Jo paid his dues at the Famous Comedy Store, sharing the same stage with legends such as Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Gary Shandling, Robin Williams, Andrew Dice Clay & Jim Carrey to name a few, in what would be an early master class by the best comedic talents of our times.
That his first professional role in "Sneakers" would bring him face to face with the actual Sundance Kid, Robert Redford was a beautiful irony and along with fellow Oscar winners, Sir Ben Kingsley, Sidney Poitier & cast members Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix and James Earl Jones, was a sign that he was on the right path.
Jo continued training in Los Angeles and writing several screenplays which lead to writing & directing the short "Who's Killing the Meter Maids?" Starring Mariska Hargitay. This film inspired Jo to establish Nichol Moon Entertainment & Arrival Entertainment, Production Service Companies helping indie filmmakers realize their dreams & consulted on over 500 productions including, features such as Doug Liman's "Swingers". Jo & Company were a driving force in the independent film movement of the 90's. Jo went on to win "Best Feature" at the 1999 New York Film & Video festival for the film 'Blink of an Eye".
In 2006 Jo co-founded Film Tiger to produce independent feature films Timber Falls, Night Train and Stag Night. Inspired by his brother's relationship with his daughter, Jo wrote, produced and directed "Going Thru A Thing" about a small time criminal who coaches his daughter's basketball team for all the wrong reasons.
Subsequently Jo went on to co-write and produce Battle Drone about the future of warfare, as well as producing duties on Frat Pack, Billionaire (Best Comedy Feature, Burbank Intl Film Festival) Escape the Field & The Doorman, starring Ruby Rose and Jean Reno.
The journey of "White Flags" began as a feature film & subsequently adapted into a book for the opportunity to tell a deeper more meaningful story.voir moins
