Love, Celeste

My latest movie is out now! It's called "Love, Celeste" and was shot in Dubai.
For years I've been part of an online community of filmmakers who make no budget movies and release them for free. Two members of that community are Dan Lotz and Zaid Aftab, who both make wonderful films. It felt like a no brainer going into this year to make a movie with some of my friends from that community, and it was made all the more special visiting Zaid in Dubai to make it.
I've long had a deep love for Iranian film, some have probably noticed its clear influence on my work. Making my own film in the middle east was a dream, embracing the beautiful visuals and nature that I've loved in other films from the region, as well as a slower pace that is often present.
It's a very personal film, but inevitably funny as well. I have a hard time not injecting humor into my work, levity goes a long way to making the emotion land in my book. I hope you enjoy.
Thanks so much for the support.
Sincerely, Joel Haver

Very thought provoking movie. Beautifully shot, I love the use of symmetry.

I believe it’s on purpose.

At 1:28 it keeps freezing, is that the intention, that world did end. Please tell me is that on purpose? Or a technological glitch?

Every single time, every single movie I come in thinking "aw I've seen enough Joel Haver, i know what to expect I think i got it" and BAM I'm wrong. But I still get a movie I'm immediately invested in, and trying to wrap my head around the mystery and it's fun the whole time. You are amazing <3

Can't wait to watch this tonight also we will be playing Dispatch! So cool that your voice was the first in the trailer, I am BEYOND excited. Congrats Joel!

I'm a few films behind. I can't wait to finish work for the holidays. I'm going to park myself in a recliner, pour a large glass of sherry, eat Christmas snacks and enjoy a midwinter Haverthon. :)
