ABOUT

Joseph is an award-winning director and producer of comedy films and sketches.


Some of them are even alright.


KEY SKILLS:

Good organisation, good at being silly as a leader or as a team member, good hair (according to my barber, who might have ulterior motives).


BIO:

As a science student at The University of Nottingham, Joseph did everything he could to not do his boring degree, so he made a feature film called House Party Raiders (2017), a ninety-minute action-comedy.


In a strange move, that he still doesn't understand to this day, Joseph left his science degree after being offered a job as a journalist at News UK, then in 2018 he went on to work for The Daily Telegraph.


During this time he learnt key skills, such as sitting at a computer for hours, turning facts into fiction, and using exaggeration effectively.


These skills helped him to keep writing and making comedy-drama films. He secured funding to shoot his second comedy film: Jobit (2018), and then make a comedy short #Goals (2019). In 2019, he secured funding from the NYFA to make a comedy-short On In 15 (2020), which was premiered at the BFI IMAX in February, thanks to partnerships with ODEON and Procam. NYFA also gave him funding to make action-drama Solvi (2020).


Joseph also partnered with London-based charity Thrive LDN to create Workshop (2019), a comedy-drama which explored four men dealing with different mental health conditions.


Currently, Joseph is overseeing promotion of On In 15, a 15-minute one-shot comedy about a band in 1990s, as well as writing and planning ahead for next year with a number of comedy projects in development. 


Joseph is also the co-founder of Window Zebra Productions.
