Josh Elledge

f you were to ask young Josh Elledge what the effects of rainforest devastation were, he wouldn't tell you with precise words; instead, he would perform an entire dramatic sequence of trees falling, wildlife fleeing in terror, music swelling, smoke and machinery running rampant; a one-man show free of any props or theatre tech. Words didn't so much fail him as much as inconvenience him and his propensity to perform his thoughts and observations stemmed from a deep-seated love for film and entertainment. A love that began with repeat viewings of The Wizard of Oz and other classics on VHS. As a compromise between his doting parents and the school board, Josh's burgeoning love for storytelling would be fostered as an incentive for completing schoolwork. Routinely, Josh would be allowed to perform five minutes of his latest movie idea before a select number of students who all had completed their classwork, and finer still, on occasion, he would perform before the class itself. Josh Elledge was only a boy in the third grade and he knew that all he wanted to do was make movies for the rest of his life. A dream that he's held onto ever since. Whether it be through acting, writing, etc., Josh Elledge is somebody who finds great pleasure in seeing great ideas become greater stories. His love of creating captivating stories in any way shape or form has only been matched by his passion of becoming a fully-fledged character, and isn't one that he'll be departing from anytime soon.
