Joey Stewart is a multifaceted filmmaker with an impressive portfolio that boasts over 20 feature films, 8 seasons of episodic television, and two streaming network series.
His journey in the film industry began in 1990, when he worked as a production assistant on Oliver Stone's iconic film "JFK". This experience allowed him to learn the ins and outs of large-scale moviemaking while working alongside A-list talent in three cities over the course of a five-month shoot.
Over the years, Joey progressed through the ranks on various television shows and feature films, taking on roles such as 1st AD, UPM, and line producer. In 2004, he made a significant leap in his career by producing the thriller "A Killer Within", a film that sold quickly and profitably. This success soon established him as one of the go-to producers for independent filmmakers in the Texas area.
Stewart's impressive resume includes serving as Producer on a range of films, including "Night of the White Pants" starring Tom Wilkinson and Nick Stahl, "Hate Crime" with Bruce Davison, "Midgets Vs Mascots" featuring Gary Coleman, "Rain" with Faye Dunaway, two TV movies for Lifetime Television, and two streaming series for Lifetime and Warner Brothers, as well as the streaming action series "Exposed", executive produced by McG.
In addition to his producing credits, Joey has also been chosen as 2nd Unit Director on five of these films and made his directorial debut on Lifetime's Web series "Inspector Mom". Since then, he has continued to produce several features and direct 2nd Unit.
In March 2009, Joey was hired to direct the psychological horror film "The Final". Just 10 months later, the film was picked up by Lionsgate and After Dark Films for a theatrical and DVD release as part of their "8 Films To Die For" series. It ranked in the top 10 rentals in iTunes and was seen in theaters worldwide.
Stewart's extensive experience has led him to continue producing, managing, and directing all forms of filmmaking, and he recently produced the latest film from writer/director Neil LaBute, "Dirty Weekend".
