about joseph horn

Cape Fear Image Works is a family-run motion picture producing organization. Led by husband and wife team Elizabeth Willaman and Joseph Horn, this dedicated group of film and video professionals have made a career of developing and producing high quality content for the big screen, the small screen and the computer screen.

Our first project was the feature film On Oak Island, shot in North Carolina over a period of 10 days with the help of friends and the kindness of strangers. Its success surpassed all our expectations. On Oak Island played at film festivals to sold out crowds, receiving both awards and extended runs across the country. This accomplishment propelled us forward.

The team at Cape Fear Image Works have been responsible for the creation of multiple television shows, short films, and webisodes; not to mention the development and completion of dozens of educational, training and corporate videos, PSA’s, commercials and industrials through our pro services division. We keep a steady stream of projects we are finishing, projects we are beginning and ideas for projects to come.
