Joe Sabia is a film director and digital artist known for devising unique concepts and viral approaches to storytelling. He is the creator and voice of Vogue’s iconic “73 Questions” series, where for over a decade he’s been granted interview access in the homes of the world’s most famous public figures, directing the likes of Taylor Swift, Adele, Zendaya, Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Selena Gomez. It was because of his 2019 interview with Roger Federer that he was trusted to document his 2022 retirement from the sport of tennis, which Joe suggested could be private “home videos” for Roger’s friends and family. The footage was so compelling that after assembling a one-hour rough cut, Joe urged Roger to release it to his fans as a feature length doc. With the addition of director and producer Asif Kapadia, this eventually became “Federer: 12 Final Days” for Amazon Studios, and Joe’s directorial film debut. Before filmmaking, Joe was the SVP of Creative Development at Condé Nast Entertainment where he and his team revolutionized celebrity entertainment by directing and producing landmark franchises like Architectural Digest’s “Open Door”, Wired's “Autocomplete Interviews”, and Vanity Fair’s “Lie Detector”. On 10/18/17 Joe directed and interviewed an unknown, 15 year old Billie Eilish, and he’s met with her every October 18th since for Vanity Fair’s celebrated “Billie Eilish: One Year Apart” series, which has over 150M views. He currently runs Studio Sabia, a production company that leverages his unique ability to reach digital audiences for clients like Audible, YouTube, Bose, NatGeo and Carnegie Hall. Joe is the creative director for TEAM8 Studios, leading the development and execution of commercial projects for Roger Federer, Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton. Joe gave an official 2011 TED Talk on the technology of storytelling, and is an advisor to MasterClass, The Moth, and Tonebase Piano. Joe’s biggest passion is music, especially classical piano. In 2011, he received the first ever content innovation grant from YouTube to launch a music channel called “CDZA”, featuring hundreds of conservatory-trained musicians in viral one-take music videos. After striking profoundly deep friendships abroad in 2005, Joe considers himself an unofficial cultural ambassador to the country of Georgia where he is a founding member of the Zeg storytelling festival and co-owns a documents management company with his two best friends. He is a Milford, Connecticut native, a Boston College alum, and resides in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Marina.
