Josh Contor
Josh Contor loves telling stories. He wrote his first play in 2nd grade — a Musical Western (and was patiently told that killing the sheriff at the end was bad form), cast the entire class, made cardboard sets and staged a bank robbery with grease-pencil mustaches and cap-guns. Years later, his parents got him a Hi8 camera and iMovie, and Josh was hooked on making movies.
Josh is a Kiwanis Teen Film Festival alumni, having been awarded Best Drama, Honorable Mention, Best Short Subject, Best Sports, and Best Documentary. He is a graduate of the BYU Media Arts program and freelances as a film technician in Utah.
