Meet Your Instructor!

I’m Josh — founder of JECP and the person behind the camera for over a decade of music videos, brand campaigns, and documentary work. Since 2011, I’ve been helping bands, brands, and bold thinkers shape their stories into something real.

My approach has always been the same: slow down, find the heart of it, and build from there. Whether I’m working as a one-man-band or alongside a close-knit crew of collaborators, I believe the best video work isn’t just content — it’s connection.

In this class, Josh will share what he’s learned across all kinds of productions — the gear, the settings, the team dynamics, and the real-world lessons from projects that worked and ones that didn’t. His goal is to give you the foundation to make work that reflects who you are and how you want to show up.
