About Me

Welcome to my virtuality. My name is Joe. I am from Derby. I used to be a student. I like to make pictures dance and sway in a cinematic way. You can usually find me poncing around Derby acting/filming/swaying against the wind...

You can watch [trash][this][room] films on this page or on my YouTube account via this link
