2020: The Film Crew

See main article: The Film Crew (video). In early August,[9] La Joie was inspired by the Mr. Blue Sky trend of people in everyday situations on TikTok. She based her version on her own film set experience and The Film Crew went viral, prompting La Joie to make more. Cinemanía wrote that they hope La Joie's videos help her career and bring more attention to women working on and off camera in the film industry.[10] John Plunkett at The Poke said her "one-woman depiction of a film crew is simply brilliant." Her videos[11] [12] were included in Make it Work, a women in film special that aired on The CW,[13] and were listed on Ad Age's "The Top 5 Creative Brand Ideas You Need to Know About Right Now: August 7, 2020."[14] In September, La Joie was the subject for a social distance toast at Women in Film Cincinnati.[15]

In 2023, La Joie starred in the films Freedom, Wisconsin and Hemet, or the Landlady Don't Drink Tea.[21]
