In this episode I talk with Josh Newman, Senior Lecturer in Film Production at ARU.
Josh is a filmmaker with 25 years of industry experience in TV, film, visitor attractions and online marketing, and a broad interest in using video storytelling for education, communication and social justice. Among other things, we talk about how the very first film he worked on after graduating not only took him to the Sundance Festival but also saw him liaising with George Lucas’ Skywalker Sound division; the recent developments and moral dangers in documentary film making; and the often overlooked benefits of ADHD when working on urgent projects.
The ARU Spotlight Podcast is a series of interviews with students, alumni, academics and technical staff from the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at ARU, exploring their personal experiences of education, career paths, projects and interests, and their advice for anyone hoping to work in the same field.
Hosted by Gareth Long, Communications Co-ordinator for the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at ARU.
