Writer/director/producer Joy’s work, which spans various genres and often explores characters on spiritual quests, includes a second feature distributed in the US and UK, and a third that screened at the Santa Fe International Film Festival.

Having directed internationally in India and Sri Lanka, she will shoot her fourth feature, Eclipse of the Holy Fool, in Philadelphia in summer 2025. The film follows a reformed ex-con who has 24 hours to both conquer her violent instincts and forge peace in a politically fractured neighborhood before bloodshed erupts.
