JOE NUSSBAUM (Director), a native of Rochester, New York, graduated from USC film school in 1996. After writing and producing movie trailers, Nussbaum directed and co-wrote the short film George Lucas in Love. The short became a phenomenon on the internet, with millions watching it online. The seven-minute film also played in and won awards at numerous film festivals around the world.
