Joe Palermo was born in St. Louis, Missouri, August 1958
to Joe (1912 - 1970) and Mary (1922 - 2007) Palermo, who owned and operated a tavern now referred to as
"America's Original Sports Bar" ).
During his fourth year, Joe's parents moved from the City of St. Louis to
St. Louis County. He received his primary education through the
Ritenour School district. After his father's death in November of 1970, 12 year old
Joe was moved with his
mother in the spring of 1971 to Fort Worth Texas, living with her parents Ben
and Eula Briscoe. It only took a few months of the
daily savagery of the middle school Joe attended accompanied by the attempted rule of
his grandparents towards he and his mother to cause their return to St. Louis County to
the residence they maintained since 1971.
In 1980 (while working part-time for St. Charles Cable Channel 12
and full time for the Special School District of St. Louis County in Jennings School
District) because the excitement of production was still hot in St. Louis after
"Escape From New York", Joe took another run at producing a feature, his
original screenplay about teenage love "Let's Be Friends." This time,
Joe held cast calls, and designed his production as he had learned to do. Rehearsals,
production meetings, location scouting, pulling together his largest crew and cast yet.
Over a nine month period, on weekends, Joe worked to produce "Let's Be
Friends." This time, he experienced scheduling and coordination situations (over 50
people involved in cast and crew) challenges of working with limited equipment but he also
strengthened his focus and ability to not be overwhelmed by obstacles. The cast and crew
got tired in the summer of 1981, and most were "suddenly unavailable" to shoot
anymore but Joe had enough footage to pull together a full length story on super-8
sound color film. He added music track, sound effects and titles!
Joe took a hiatus from filmmaking to connect with area industry professionals.
In the spring of 1982, Missouri Film Assistance Director Dean Brooks invited
Joe to participate as a speaker at a state-wide meeting of film professionals by the
being hosted by Brooks office in Jefferson City. The meeting was designed to make
Missouri State officials more aware of what could be offered to Hollywood producers who
wanted to use locations in Missouri for shooting. It was from these meetings that
the State of Missouri chose to establish the Missouri Film Commission.
Joe also began free-lancing in video in 1982 which included a marathon 72 hour
television production of the V. P. Fair and an 18 episode series of international champion
table tennis competition from the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas.
1984 brought the first public showing of "Let's Be Friends" designed to
encourage audience members to sign up with the new, non-profit Midwest Motion Picture
Protégées, Inc. Protegees was formed by Joe and two associates, David Toole and
Robert Cardinale to give interested people the chance to learn hands on production in film
and video at a basic level...and to act as a non-profit organization with which to raise
funds to make films. The first meeting brought in 80 people, some industry
professionals, some students and they all applauded the effort and completion of
"Let's Be Friends."
Protégées met with some success. A production contract was signed with the U.F.O.
Study Group of Greater St. Louis for the video taping and selling of the 1985 Mutual UFO
Network, Inc. Symposium being held at the Chase Park Plaza that featured lecture
presentations by professionals in the field of ufology. The lectures were taped, titles
added and some tapes sold. Now Joe had entered the reality of marketing home videos.
From 1982 to 1990, Joe worked in video production for such companies as Edward D.
Jones and Company (where he learned about the financial industry and the attitudes
and philosophies of professional financial advisors) Venture Stores, Media Magic Public
Relations, The Impact Group, Inc., Anhesuer Busch, SportsTime Cable Network, Inc. and
E.S.P.N. Cable as ...
Kevin Slaten and Stacie St. James as host and color announcers respectively for the
SportsTime Cable Network production "Purnia Cat Classic All Women's Gymnastics
Meet" from the Hearn's Center in which. Joe was 3rd Unit Director as seen in the on

well as maintaining a part-time production position with the City of St. Charles.
Joe's video production of the first "National Night Out" in St. Charles
earned the city fifth place for cities under 60,000 population in the national National
Night Out competitions. Joe produced the first "Crime Stoppers" segment
for St. Charles, which actually hit the air before the first "Crime Stoppers"
segment by area CBS affiliate KMOV-TV.
In 1993, while working at U.P.S. (United Parcel Service) Joe produced another script
of his own "Lord Of The Region" an action/horror story about a struggle for power between two practitioners of witchcraft
and the humans that are caught in the struggle. Taping on Hi-8 video began February
of 1993 and wrapped principle photography in August of 1993 with final finished product
achieved in late September. Joe was not directorially happy with the finished
product and decided to withhold it from major attempts at distribution until there could
be additional work done on it.
**As of 2008, corrections have been
made and Lord of the Region can now be purchased as a
digital download!
Also in 1993, Joe donated his performance abilities as "The King" for a
flood relief effort put on in O'Fallon, Missouri
by the area Elvis Presley Fan Club.
In June of 1995, Joe organized his limited liability company, Dream Masters Studios.
In February of 1996, Joe invested his time and equipment as official videographer on an
expedition to Puerto Rico and brought back 10 hours of footage. In 1998, Joe found an
investor which allowed him to add digital video editing capabilities to his home PC. He
completed a 3 hour and 4 minute researchers version and a 2 hour consumer version titled
"Chupacabras! The Legend Begins."
In May of 1999, Joe began reaching out to 250,000 households with a weekly cable
show called "Dream Masters Studios Theatre" on Charter Communications in St.
Louis. A glich in the editing system coupled with shows not being aired on consistent
times and dates caused the cancellation of "Dream Masters Studios Theatre."
In June of 2000, after two months of conversations, Joe has successfully positioned
Dream Masters Studios with StreamSearch.Com and has the first program on-line for
pay-per-view. Unfortunately, the management of StreamSearch, Inc. promised far more
than they delivered and ultimately went bankrupt in 2001. Also in 2000,
Joe made
his first of ongoing guest spots on
the X-Zone radio show with Rob McConnell out of Canada. Joe also acted as US
representative to then Canadian X-Zone listeners due to his scheduled guest spot the day immediately
following the September 11 attack on the United States.
Joe has since pursued knowledge and experience in producing streaming video for the
Internet. He has been demonstrating the interest in streaming video since 2002.
In 2003, Joe directed star
of stage and screen Margot Kidder for a PSA against puppy mills.
Starting up ITS-DMS.COM
(Internet Television Station - Dream Masters Studios) fall of 2004, December of 2004
allowed Joe the distinct pleasure of video taping the 2004 Stray Rescue Gala
event. This event featured the public announcement of December 3rd being declared
"Animal Guardian Day" in the City of Saint Louis and also featuring three
celebrities ... City of St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay, founder of Stray Rescue Randy Grim,
and the woman he refers to as his "little sister," Academy Award nominee, animal
activist and founder of Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation, Linda Blair (click photo to see
video). It was after hearing Linda explain how she came to dedicate her life to
placing domesticated animals with human guardians that Joe decided to re-dedicate his
life to the exploration of paranormal issues.
