ACTOR. DIRECTOR. WRITER.
"Joel Vetsch was born & raised in the small town of Colstrip, Montana, relocating to Connecticut in 2008. After watching 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' at the age of 12, he decided he wanted to make movies. Eighteen years later, Joel has established a diverse resume in film with acting, directing, and writing credits to his name; his work has been broadcast on CNN and on television overseas. His recent credits include the short films 'Elm City Pulp' (writer, director, lead actor) and 'Hold On' (director, cinematographer). He is currently appearing in the web series 'The Oligrach Duplicity' and recently starred in 'Kharon's Fare', a short that aired on CHANNEL 13 / WNET as part of its Reel 13 series. Joel's latest film as director and lead actor is the short 'A Man Alone'; upcoming projects include directing and starring in the dramatic film 'Thoughts of a Professional Man' and an as-yet-untitled zombie comedy.

The new movie "Elm City Pulp", which I directed, wrote, and starred in alongside Cassandra Ritone, Haydria Bish, and Leo Petry, will premiere August 5th, at 7 pm at the Reel New Haven Short Film Festival. This event will take place at BAR in New Haven, CT. The movie is a murder mystery which straddles the past and the present. It is 12 minutes in length.

I acted opposite Leo Petry in an intense short film directed by David C. Diaz about two hitmen at odds in the tight quarters of a kitchen.
On March 28, 2009 at 10:43 pm our film, "Kharon's Fare", was broadcast on TV across CT, MA, and NY on Channel Thirteen / WNET New York.
"Kharon's Fare", written by Matt Raimo, portrays a life and death struggle between two hitmen in another corner of the underworld.
This is the broadcast of our film, that aired twice that night (rebroadcast at 2:17 am).
I have been acting, directing, and writing since I was 12 years old. I've appeared on CNN multiple times, directed a documentary film that has been televised in Germany and the UK on TV. Most recently a short film I starred in was broadcast on TV across the east coast out of NY on Channel 13. Besides filmmaking, in my spare time I draw, play the guitar, read, and like to travel.
