Joseph Mann creates instantly lovable characters from the most unexpected things. In his highly capable hands, shopping bags and biscuits, crushed cars and even damaged wallpaper become heroes, comic foils and tragic figures. His attention to detail and gentle humour gives all of his work a richness and warmth that the viewer cannot help but embrace. You can tell, even at a glance, that everything on the screen is there for a reason, to enhance the viewing experience. Joe is not a filmmaker who has ever used the phrase “that’ll do”.
