This short documentary, Nobody Loves Joel Romeo, tells the story of Mr. Joel Romeo, or at least what the locals have learned of Joel Romeo. If you've ever been to Ballard and walked down Market Street you've most likely seen him—he's a little feller who wears safety frame specs and sometimes hollers.

When I lived in Ballard I would always find him digging through the records and CDs at Sonic Boom. I never had time to hang out with him, so it's nice to see what he does otherwise and that he is very well loved. Joel has a Facebook page, Joel-Romeo and His Posse, AND his art has a Tumblr!

This short was made by local filmmaker Marcy Stone Francois, who's also known for making a Tacocat video or two. The music is by the lovely local duo Pony Time.
