Read MoreHeralded by Jack Thorne as "a tremendous talent", Josh is a neurodivergent / disabled (autistic, dyspraxic & ADHD) Screenwriter. Commissioned on WAFFLE'S AFTER SCHOOL CLUB (a spin-off from the much-loved CBeebies / BBC TV show: WAFFLE THE WONDER DOG, produced by BAFTA-winning Darrall Macqueen) and previously HOLLYOAKS. Josh's BBC drama film BREATHE plus his Arts Council England-funded VODKA PANTS (starring David Schaal of THE OFFICE and THE INBETWEENERS fame) have been screened widely through BAFTA- and BIFA-qualifying Oska Bright Film Festival. In development are original series with Further South Productions (QUEENIE), a TV show with Gurinder Chadha (writer-director of BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM), plus film projects with Tyler Macintyre (co-writer of box office mega-hit FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S) and Neal Edelstein (producer of MULHOLLAND DRIVE). Josh’s debut play MADDIE received publication and had a sold-out run at Arcola Theatre. He is also adapting a Penguin Books children's novel for TV.
