The Painter
2023
My second award-winning film, garnering almost 17,000 views on YouTube. I co-wrote and co-directed this film with some of my friends for the 2023 48 Hour Film Project in Cincinnati, Ohio.
We were nominated for almost all categories and achieved the award for Best Sound Design and 3rd Best Film. The film was also selected for the Short Sweet Film Fest in Cleveland, Ohio, and won 3rd best sound in a short film at the Great Lakes Christian Film Festival in Buffalo, New York.

Short film I wrote, directed, and edited for the 2023 ELLIV video contest at Cedarville University. I wanted to try my hand at shooting a fun action short and my cast and crew were amazing!
The film won the competition and was screened in front of 2,600 attendees.​

Directed by Elizabeth Kollmar, I worked on this short film as the editor and cinematographer. This film was created as Elizabeth's capstone project at Cedarville University. This was the first larger-scale project I had worked on and I learned a lot about film editing and organization in the process, as well as developing skills in receiving feedback on a multi-person screening sessions.

What I used:
“Josh brings an independent, creative approach to every project, while he consistently delivers on his word. I have directed two projects with Josh as my cinematographer and he is a faithful member of the team who uses new approaches to deliver a high-quality product.”
