Josh is a director and content producer specialising in comedy and science fiction.

A graduate in Narrative Directing from the Australian Film, TV and Radio School (AFTRS),  a previous career in assistant directing and production means he also has a wealth of on-set and post-production experience in Australia and the USA. 

He directed several episodes of the lesbian dramedy webseries SAME SAME in Brooklyn, NY, which has over 2.5 millions views so far with partner channel One More Lesbian, and has sold to Revry.com. He also produced the series with Stephanie Begg and Lauren Augarten, and edited most episodes. The pilot episode was rather popular on youtube, gaining a fan base and several awards, which helped the team successfully crowdfund to produce the rest of the series. While the views are great, even better are the fan comments on each episode 

Josh directed the episode 'Jump' of The Bench Series in Sydney, a fast paced comic sci-fi romance. The series had a cast and crew screening at Palace Cinema - it was an absolute treat to hear a packed cinema laugh at all the right spots. It was selected to Melbourne Webfest and Los Anegeles CineFest, and was a Finalist at the National Irish Science Fiction Film Awards and Rhode Island International Film Festival.

He co-wrote and directed Legacy and Opal during a postgrad at the Australian Film, Television & Radio School. Legacy screened at dozens of festivals internationally, including Fantasia and London SciFi, and winning Best Director, Best Cinematography and Best Supporting Actor at the North Wales International Film Festival and nominated for the National Irish Science Fiction Film Awards. Audiences have been divided; many intrigued by the transhumanist concepts and others queasy with the exploration of family relationships.

His short Gone was funded through Metroscreen’s First Breaks grant and his film Blood Type won Best Director in the Sydney 48hr Film Festival.
