Joshua Sechrist

Josh has always had a love for creating impactful stories. While pursuing a BFA at UCSB he was constantly being tasked with developing and directing his own pieces for the stage. Wanting more control over the lens his audience looked through, he began to spend time with the film society on campus. There he discovered his true calling and by the time he graduated, had written, directed, and produced three short films. Since then he has gone on to develop his craft in Los Angeles and now in Redding, working as a Director, DP, and Producer alongside his wife, Hailey Sechrist as his Production Designer and Co-Producer. Together they started New Idea Media, a production company dedicated to elevating the film community in the NorCal area.
