About Joey
Garage FX guru Joey Shanks (PBS Digital Studios' Webby-nominated Shanks FX) creates high-end visual effects with simple household items. His work, at once both innovative and traditional, has been featured across the web in No Film School, Gizmodo, Mashable, Wired, Fstoppers, The Hollywood Reporter, The Creators Project, Huffington Post, USA Today, CBS News, and many more. His stop-motion film Wiggle Room (2011) won the USA Film Festival and allowed him to submit the film for an Academy Award nomination for "best animated short." His last film, Sci-Fly (2013), was an official selection for SXSW, LA Film Festival, and Slamdance, to name a few.
