Jo Nemoyten, Co-Owner and CEOJo has extensive experience in the day to day as well as the “big picture” aspects of running a business. She is also a skilled graphic designer, web designer and all around computer and internet geek. Her goal as CEO is to make sure the foolish tree is where people LOVE to be when producing films and other media. “If we’re not having fun, why have a business? Why do anything?” The creative arts are also a big part of who she is and what she loves. Her father and brother are professional musicians, her mom was an award-winning amateur actress and the whole family is artistic in some way. As a child, she used to entertain the family by singing and dancing Shirley Temple numbers and later by playing her violin. She has always been a writer and poet and in the past 20 years has discovered her love and talent as a performer and comic. Look for her characters, including the infamous Sophie RainbowVision, to pop up here soon with her colleaugue, Spiritual Bob (see below).
