ABOUT
Joshua Stoker, a Panamanian director based in Brooklyn, New York, draws inspiration from the divine to create works that elevate the intellect, beauty, and virtues of humanity. His projects, spanning high-fashion and music videos, emphasize aesthetic elements such as design, harmony, balance, and emotion, aiming to inspire others to reach their highest potential.
His narrative filmmaking has garnered the backing of the Eastman Kodak Company and mentorship from industry luminaries like Darren Dean (Producer of A24’s The Florida Project, Tangerine) and 12-time Grammy Award winner Ruben Blades.
