JOSH LEVY, Writer / Director

Writer/Director Josh Levy’s feature film debut Hayseed is an outrageous comedy that tells the tale of a small town boy searching for his lost dog in the big city.  Hayseed was an official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival. The film was screened at festivals around the world and enjoyed a two-month run at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London England.

Josh followed Hayseed with an innovative TV movie called DoUlike2watch.com produced with Telefilm Canada for The Movie Network.

Josh is the co-creator and executive producer of the twisted cult comedy series Locker Room. Locker Room is currently airing in the USA on the here! Network, and is available on iTunes. Josh also created the outrageous talk show Jawbreaker with renowned playwright Brad Fraser.

Josh has directed television series for CTV, Global and MTV and many memorable music videos for labels like Sony, Geffen, and Universal, and for artists as diverse as Cowboy Junkies and gob. His video for Julian Austin’s Take The Money And Run won Video of The Year and Director of the Year at the CCMAs. Josh has been nominated for Juno Awards and MuchMusic Awards.

Josh’s short stories and tales of real-life adventure have been published in numerous magazines and newspapers.

Alongside his producer/brother Robi, Josh is developing TV series Youth Or Dare with Tricon Films and Television. Together the Levy Brothers won the FOX21 Reality Award at the Banff World Television Festival.

In 2011 Josh Levy directed a pair of short films 52 and 4 Pounds written by and starring Kids In The Hall’s Scott Thompson. The shorts have been a hit with audiences at over 40 festivals, and will continue to screen throughout the coming year.

Josh recently completed his latest short film The Immigrant with an all-star cast including Thompson, Dave Foley, Michael Cera, Margaret Cho and Will Forte. The film comments on the contemporary American immigrant experience by focusing on a hapless white Canadian (Thompson) who enlists human smugglers to sneak him across the border.

Levy is currently preparing for the 2012 premiere of The Immigrant, the launch of the second season of the Levy Brothers’ demented webseries Masculathon (check it out at www.masculathon.com) and completing the screenplay for a feature film.
