Josh Beattie

Josh Beattie, a visionary director in the realm of short films, was born in 1989 in Brisbane, Australia, and began his active filmmaking career in the early 2010s. With a primary focus on drama and fantasy, Beattie is best recognized for his acclaimed short films "The Maker" and "Zero," the latter of which won the LA Shorts Fest Award for best animation. While his works are lauded for their unique blend of live-action and animation, it's Beattie's ability to convey profound, thought-provoking narratives within a limited timeframe that truly distinguishes his authorial style. A master of the short film, Josh Beattie's work is a reminder that great stories aren't measured by their length, but by the depth of the emotions they awaken in us.
