INCENDIARY is
Joe Bailey, Jr.’s
first feature-length film. After graduating from the University of Texas School of Law, Joe began working as a cinematographer and sound recordist in Austin. Finishing up a postdoctoral fellowship at the law school in 2009, he enrolled in Steve Mims’ Production Two course. A conversation after class about clemency, criminal process, and forensic science went on for days, and became this film.
