Joe Donnelly

Joseph Baldwin Donnelly is an English director born September 11th, 2001. His parents, Jonathan Donnelly and Josephine Choc, met in the Aldi in Orpington, Kent, where Joe spent his childhood. Joe suffered from confidence issues at school, where he became afraid to voice what he thought. He dedicated himself to improving his confidence, culminating in a YouTube career where his very name was "Just My Opinion", an ironic deflection of his previous insecurities. After developing an audience in the dozens, he partnered with long time love Laurence Hissee to create their first short film, White Eyes (2016). He lives with Laurence and their pet penguin "Mr Fluffykins" in Scunthorpe.
