Rex Sikes' Movie Beat chats with Joke & Biagio

Joke and Biagio are married, and best known for creating and executive producing “Scream Queens” on VH1 and Co-Executive Producing Beauty and the Geek. The duo earned their documentary wings under acclaimed filmmaker R.J. Cutler (The War Room, The September Issue) and honed their reality TV skills working with luminaries like Mark Burnett and J.D. Roth of 3Ball Productions. They've produced several hundred hours of film and television, working as writers, producers, directors, and editors as they earned their Executive Producer titles.This husband and wife team (Joke's the wife, Biagio's the hubby) make film and TV.  Their current documentary Dying to do Letterman has been invited by the International Documentary Association to qualify for an Academy Award® at DocuWeeks™11. To fund their indie Oscar® run, they launched a Kickstarter campaign which runs through September 4, and raised $40,000 from 400 backers in just one week. Having just completed their second season of the world-wide hit SCREAM QUEENS (playing in over 30 countries), season 1 of IFC's Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings, and their six year, feature-length documentary Dying to do Letterman (coming to a theater near you soon) Joke and Biagio strive to challenge themselves creatively with each new project they embrace. They are currently in production on a new, true documentary series for MTV called CAGED which will premiere in 2012.  The show follows young adults in Minden, Louisiana as they struggle to find their place in the world.  Every subject on the show has one thing in common: they're all connected through amateur MMA Cage fighting.
