Dante Joe

American film director, producer, editor, and actor whose films often mix 1950s-style B movies with cartoon comedy. He began his film career working for legendary, low-budget producer Roger Corman, who provided similar opportunities to future directors Francis Ford Coppola and James Cameron. His biggest hit was "Gremlins" (1984), the third-highest-grossing film of that year. His work for television and cable includes immigration satire "The Second Civil War" (1997) and episodes of anthology series "Masters of Horror" ("Homecoming" and "The Screwfly Solution") and "Amazing Stories," as well as "Hawaii Five-0" and "Police Squad!." In 2007, Dante launched the web series "Trailers from Hell," which provides commentary by directors, producers and screenwriters on trailers for classic and cult movies. He is also a contributor to the website. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
