Joshua Amar

He's a first generation Canadian born to Moroccan immigrants. He has worked on projects for Darren Aronofsky and Scott Franklin. His films have screened at film festivals including Austin, Bermuda, Cannes, Oaxaca and Savannah, among many other film festivals. His commercial credits include (but not limited to): Collaborating with Darren Aronofksy and the FDA, writing for Avril Lavigne, crafting a fashion campaign with NBA Labs and directing numerous music video projects. He's currently in pre-production for his first feature film about an emo-rapper titled, DON'T EVER LEAVE ME.
