Joseph Talerico [b. 1994] is an American film director currently working in Georgia, USA. Talerico served in the United States Air Force during Operation Enduring Freedom and Resolute Support before publicly documenting his work in the motion picture. His technique for producing images draws on late 18th-century cinema with much of his early work being silent often with live musical accompaniment as well as hand crank 35mm projection from the Motiograph Model No. 1-A [Enterprise Optical Manufacturing Company, 1896].
