Coming Soon: Happy Joe

At 25, Giuseppe “Joe” Garisto was a promising musician/songwriter. Adopting the alias Dean Marr, he dressed head to toe in black and cruised the streets of Toronto on his 1968 Vespa. He hosted Open Mic nights that were the breeding ground of several successful musicians, and hoped that one day he too would be recognized for his talents. 

Now 33 and the manager of a campus pub, Joe struggles with bouts of severe anxiety and prescription drug use. He combs over what's left of his hair while struggling to complete the album he is convinced will finally show people who he really is.

Directed by Patrick Collins and Rich Williamson. For more information visit www.happyjoefilm.com
