Case Study
Produced from idea to premiere in just three months, The Last Ones Out is a surf film celebrating the beauty, grace, and strength of San Diego's women longboarders. The project grew into a fully self-produced film festival in Pacific Beach — complete with five DJs, three live bands, charity raffles, and screenings of three original films.
The festival sold out with over 200 attendees. Shortly after, the film was selected from more than 6,000 international submissions for the San Diego International Film Festival, where it won Best Short in its category.

The Filmmaker
San Diego-based creative director, filmmaker, and photographer crafting high-impact visual content across adventure, fitness, lifestyle, and brand campaigns.
With a background spanning independent film, brand content, and live event production — Joshua brings the instincts of a storyteller to every frame. When a project calls for a festival-worthy film or a 30-second reel that stops your thumb cold, the approach is the same: total commitment to the work.
Investment
Three starting points depending on scope. Every engagement is custom-scoped after a discovery call — these are baseline ranges.
All prices are starting ranges — final scope depends on crew size, locations, talent, and deliverables. Rush fees apply for under-72-hour turnaround. Travel billed at cost.
How It Works
No unnecessary back-and-forth. Just a clean path from idea to finished product.
We talk through your goals, audience, budget, and timeline. I ask the questions most creatives skip — so nothing gets missed.
Mood boards, shot lists, storyboards, location scouting, and talent coordination. The shoot is easier because the prep is thorough.
Cameras roll. Every setup is intentional. The energy on set translates directly to the energy on screen.
Color, sound design, music, and motion — all dialed in. Two rounds of revisions, then delivery in whatever format you need.
