Joey del Deo

Instructor

Joey has loved every second of being a part of the Writopia Lab team! Since joining Writopia in 2021 as a filmmaking counselor at WriCampia, he has worked in New York as both a filmmaking and creative writing instructor. Based in Toms River, New Jersey, Joey received his B.A. in TV/Film from DeSales University in 2021, where he enjoyed writing and producing. While attending DeSales, he produced numerous short films, including his senior thesis “Altered” which is currently in its festival run, and “Fall From Dysphoria” which debuted in 2019 at the Dance on Camera College Exchange at The Lincoln Center. Joey was also the head producer of the DeSales University Film Festival in 2021. He has enjoyed working with writers and filmmakers of all ages through Writopia, and continues to be amazed by the creativity and joy that each workshop brings! When not working as an instructor, Joey loves photography, watching bad comedy movies, and the Mets (most of the time.)
