Actor / Filmmaker Bio:

Joshua Sechrist is an LA based actor, director, and cinematographer. He is known for his roles

in award winning films such as Heard and Another Life. He is a versatile creative who refuses to

be limited by a single role on set, directing 3 films by the time he graduated the BFA acting

department at UCSB.

Heard was the perfect debut for him as an actor/director as it took his passion for movement

based theater and displayed it through the lens of the camera. Next he directed The Cheshire

Cat Inn, a half hour comedy-drama that premiered at SBIFF. He finished his time at college by

starring in A Question, an experimental drama that premiered at the Reel Loud Film Festival.

He then went on to direct and shoot commercials, music videos, and short films under his

production company New Idea Media, where he specializes in bringing beautiful lighting and

engaging storytelling to musicians, businesses, and fellow filmmakers.

His most recent creative endeavor was titled Another Life. A dramatized retelling of a couple

running into each other years after breaking up. Joshua co-starred in the film which won the

award for Best Local Filmmaker at its premiere at the Sundial Film Festival.
