Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Jo Levi DiSante (producer) graduated began her career in New York as a casting assistant working on such films as John Sayles' PASSION FISH and Clint Eastwood's THE ROOKIE and PINK CADILLAC. She quickly realized that she wanted to see these projects past the casting phase and moved to Los Angeles where she became a reader for various production companies including Miramax, New Line, Oliver Stone's Ixtlan, and Ridley Scott's Percy Main Productions. JO took her first executive position with Manager/Producer Phyllis Carlyle (THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST). In 1996, JO moved back to New York to be the creative executive for film financing venture Foundry Film Partners (CLAY PIGEONS, WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE, WISDOM OF CROCODILES). Returning to Los Angeles in 1999, JO became the Director of Development for Demi Moore's Moving Pictures (AUSTIN POWERS, "If These Walls Could Talk"). In 2001, JO was hired to start a feature division for Cosgrove/Meurer Productions ("Unsolved Mysteries") where she recently produced the ensemble comedy CAFFEINE starring Mena Suvari and Breckin Meyer. In addition to her work in film, JO works with Ruth Stalford representing The SEED Foundation's efforts to open a publicly funded college preparatory boarding school for underserved youth in Los Angeles. JO lives west of Glendale with her husband John and their canine babies Brando and Bella.
