I really pride myself on working hard and having fun while working with a team! I really love collaboration and the film process. 

Self-motivated and eccentric  individual with intentions of adapting and advancing within company. Strong drive to expand skillset and excel in any area for which proper training is given. Extremely attentive to detail and receptive to feedback, with a desire to exceed expectations in even the most minimal task. Creative, steadfast go-getter aiming to develop proficiency in new fields, while using prior skills to go beyond the needs of any team I join.

I’m a local filmmaker, let’s talk about writing scripts.

Josh McCausland’s work approaches visual reality from its own unique angle.

As both a videographer and graphic designer, Josh is comfortable reconciling the real with the imagined, and it shows in what he creates. His work is refreshing, and exhibits a cleanliness that is never too removed from humanity.

Healing plays a large part in creation for Josh as “an outward expression for internal struggles.” Art is his way of continuing to exist “as a child in the living room sketching on the floor, with no restrictions and no worries.”

It is this feeling of freedom that Josh’s work truly captures, allowing everyone who interacts with it a much-needed moment of peace in its simple beauty and effortless elegance.

In his pursuits, Josh has completed a BFA at Cumberland University with a major in Entertainment Design and a minor in film studies. He developed his own film company, iQ Flicks during college and now maintains his small business while working full-time for Relativity creating in house video work.

AD Department! 1st Team PA, Basecamp PA and 2nd 2nd AD originally from Milwaukee, WI. Considering making the move to Chicago.

My experience isn’t limited to film, it has expanded into working in social media content, creative writing, ghostwriting, and consulting.

Since 2006, I have been accumulating an abundance of skill-building experience while freelancing for film, commercials, web content, marketing videos, music videos, and educational projects. Freelancing with adults and children has strengthened my natural problem-solving abilities and has enhanced my creative flair for project finalization. These desirable attributes have landed me several key positions on sets which have included such celebrities as, Gordan Ramsay, Ruben Fleischer, Kanye West, and Bret Michaels.

I have an infinite passion for visual storytelling and it all began from the moment I saw movies like Halloween (1978), The Ten Commandments, Cobra, Metropolis and many more. I am on here to meet others with the same passion or interest in collaborating. I have other scripts I am working on or finalizing and would love to get a team to work with or help create their films.  Maybe we can be the next group that creates amazing films as a team. Remember the “movie brats” with Francis Ford Coppola, Brian De Palma, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg days? Remember American Zoetrope and how they broke the storytelling rules to create a masterpiece like THX? If you do, contact me and let’s connect on storytelling and films.
