WESLEY JOSEPH

As a kid, Wesley always had her nose buried in a book. She fell in love with myriad stories not realizing that she was also falling in love with world building, structure and the power of the written word. Next came the movies, not refined world cinema, but movies. The heightened emotions of Bollywood film were a whirlwind waiting to sweep her up in its arms.

Every Saturday her dad would take the family out for a late night show. Wesley entered this fantastical world half asleep and safe to say, she never left. Sleepy, dreamy eyes lost in make believe opened her up to a bigger world than she had ever seen. When you look back and join the dots, this is probably where it started, when the proverbial bug bit.

Over the years, Wesley has dipped her toes in various aspects of filmmaking – starting out as a casting intern, then associate producer and producer. Eventually finding her way to assisting and directing.

Someday she hopes to tell stories that makes someone feel seen, that bring a smile to someone on a difficult day and a chuckle on a day that’s already been fucking great. And maybe, just maybe, she’ll make some kid somewhere learn to dream for the first time. Let’s do it.
