Biografie
Filmmaker and producer, Joseph "Joe" Dante Jr. was born in Morristown, New Jersey. He graduated from the Philadelphia College of Art and after doing a stint as a film critic with magazines like “Film Bulletin”, he began his movie career in 1974 as a film editor for the New World production company, which belonged to Roger Corman. It was precisely thanks to Corman that he debuted as a director in Piranha (1978), becoming one of the great creators of North American fantastic cinema, with mythical titles in his filmography like The Howling (1981), Gremlins (1984), Explorers (1985), Amazon Women on the Moon (1987), Matinee (1993) or the telefilm Homecoming (2005). Among the directors who, according to Dante, have influenced his career, are names like Chuck Jones, Frank Tashlin, James Whale, Roger Corman and Jean Cocteau.
