EXECUTIVE PRODUCER, ACTOR
Joan Scheckel, producer, writer, director and creator of The Technique™, is known throughout the film world as the crucial creative force behind hundreds of award-winning films and television series, including Soloway's TRANSPARENT, Mill's BEGINNERS and 20TH CENTURY WOMEN, Shapiro's UNREAL, Caro's WHALE RIDER, Dayton Faris LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and many more. Joan has created a revolutionary new approach to writing, directing and acting craft which takes on Hollywood's outmoded story models and asks, "What happens when we take out all the fighting and all the fucking?" Joan questions our addictions to conflict-based narratives and instead reveals a new paradigm for storytelling that embraces action, feeling and meaning.
