Joe Manco attended the Academy of Irving, where he excelled in Media Technology & Communications. During his time at the Academy, he developed a passion for filmmaking and began working on various projects.

Joe's unique style of filmmaking is best described as comically dark and violent. His most notable works include "The Torturer," which was released in 2020, and "Vicemares," which premiered in December 2023. Both films have received critical acclaim for their compelling storytelling and thought-provoking themes.

Joe has been happily married for the past 12 years and resides in the North Texas area with his wife, daughters, and dog, Wednesday.
