I met Joe Gawalis in 2019. He is unlike any man I have ever met, a man of true integrity at his core. In five years, I have learned the ins and outs of the film business, been in 2 movies that are out all over the world, and reestablished my passion as a musician. I wouldn’t have ever been able to do this without Joe’s guidance. He really sees the good in people and encourages them to live to their true potential. Grateful to know him and be where I am today because of it.

When I wrote my film, "Cocoa", and was lucky enough to secure funding for it, I needed someone I could trust to not only be a professional, but be a friend throughout production and beyond. Joe Gawalis was that guy. We worked harder than we've ever worked on anything and laughed all the way through the ups and downs and bumps in the road. Joe is a professional and isn't afraid to use all of his abilities to make things work.
