Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Josh Mitchell. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Alright, Josh thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My filmmaker journey started many moons ago when I made a zombie action film called “Roid Rage” in Boston and traveled out to the Sundance Film Festival to promote it. I learned how to navigate the festival circuit and network with the most powerful players in Hollywood.

My experience led me to launch a publicity company, and I have repped a surplus of diverse and talented filmmakers from across the world. My niche is securing interview opportunities, pitching projects to producers, and connecting people with like-minded interests in an attempt to cultivate working synergy and creative collaboration.

My latest endeavor is a new comedy TV series I wrote, directed, financed, and starred in called “Pub.Lie.Size.” The semi-autobiographical series revolves around Mitch Mitchell, a small-time Hollywood publicist who represents a celebrated TV star and must protect his reputation from two conniving computer store nerds.

When they attempt to extort him by releasing a host of embarrassing photos from his golden goose’s laptop, Mitch is forced to partner with his new intern and a roster of kooky clients to protect his livelihood and the future of his actor’s career.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I am a Hollywood publicist and content specialist who could help elevate your exposure, visibility, and connections. My distribution list is packed with the best and brightest in the entertainment business – producers, directors, publishers, bloggers, studios, filmmakers, agents.

I can pitch people and projects directly to Academy Award-winning producers and owners of $100 million film funds. I create an insightful and alluring one-sheet press release and market it directly to the top movers and shakers in Hollywood.

I offer a host of high-end networking events, exclusive screenings, and red carpets for my clients in LA and NYC. I also facilitate email introductions which elite connections and potential jobs.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

It has been a challenging yet rewarding excursion on my road to success. I haven’t really been able to take my foot off the gas pedal for one minute. There’s just too much competition, and it takes a major effort to get ahead in this industry. The pandemic was a challenge for everyone but you have to be a renaissance individual and pivot your goals and focus to continue to flourish. I have learned to wear many hats and be as flexible and open as possible in terms of career moves.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

My mission is to create thought-provoking stories that stand the test of time and break the mold of monotony. These days I’m not interested in doing anything cookie-cutter or standard. I want to make “noisy” projects that people can discuss around the water cooler. Ultimately, I want to be the Taylor Sheridan of Boston. I have so many sports-related projects on my slate that celebrate my icons like Larry Bird and Paul Pierce.
