A Soaring Cinephile
Brandon Tamburri, BBA ’16, began creating short films and scriptwriting at a young age. Now, he’s bringing comedy to South Jersey with his independent production company, Joke Zero.
Tamburri graduated from Saint Joseph’s with a major in entrepreneurship and a minor in film studies.
“Both programs immensely prepared me for life after graduation. I not only work as a filmmaker, but I also run my own production company,” says Tamburri. “I was able to take everything I learned about running a business and apply it to the film industry, which is my true passion.”
