Joe Sabia

Joe Sabia (born September 16, 1983) is an American filmmaker and digital content producer. He is best known as the creator and voice of "73 Questions", a rapid-fire one-take digital series featuring celebrities that he developed for Vogue in 2014. Sabia was named the Senior Vice President of Creative Development at Condé Nast Entertainment after the release of the first video with Sarah Jessica Parker. In 2024, he directed his first feature film Federer: Twelve Final Days for Amazon Studios on the retirement of Roger Federer from tennis. During his childhood, Sabia competed in spelling bees and memorized the capitals of every country in the world. He also taught himself to read and write Russian and later learned Italian. In 2005, as a member of the comedy group, Asinine, Sabia began teaching himself to film and edit from his father's camera, while attending Boston College. He switched between the Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences and the Carroll School of Management at the university, debating whether to attend law school to become a politician before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in 2006.

In 2007, Sabia won the International Pun Championship in Austin, Texas off a rhyming monologue about the 43 presidents that he wrote in under an hour. Sabia moved to New York City in 2011 and gave a TED Talk on “The Technology of Storytelling" that same year. Sabia played piano three hours a day through his high school years, and is an amateur classical pianist attempting such compositions as Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3.
