About Joshua

Joshua is a born and raised French-Canadian queer writer/director who just can't help but share his weird, hard-to-believe, and sometimes hard-to-stomach tales. And with a tumultuous past as an escort, they sure are endless.

His recent short film, L'ARPÈGE, has amassed multiple awards across the festival circuit including Best Soundtrack (Reale Film Festival), Best Women's Short Film (2020 UIFF) and a Jury Award (2020 UIFF).

In regards to his writing, his scripts have placed as finalists in notable competitions (i.e. Austin Film Festival, Fast Track Fellowship, Screencraft, etc.) along with being showcased on Coverfly's Red List.

He is currently in the works of his first feature, VIXEN, based on his experience as a gay escort.
