Joe Verni is a director, writer and producer, known for "Stalking Eva", which is his first feature film after three other works: "L'uomo con la valigia", "World of Women" and "La recherche". In 2009 he abandoned the project of the film adaptation ("Il sole dei morenti") of the novel by Jean-Claude Izzo "Le soleil des mourants" (Flammarion, 1999). He is particularly fond of horror cinema, of Nuri Bilge Ceylan's films and of cats and dogs.
