Welcome!
I'm Josh Barkey. I grew up on my parent's mission center in the Amazon basin of Peru, catching and eating piranhas before they could catch and eat me. Then I paid for an English degree by hand-planting half a MILLION(ish) baby trees in Canadian dirt. Now I live in a shed in North Carolina, where I write screenplays and novels, paint, and even dabble in music-making. So far in my life I've made or helped to make: A feature-length comedy film, PINK , which is slated for release with Mutiny Pictures in December, 2021. 7 short films, like TWO FOR TEA and the 2020 Tribeca Official Selection, ABDUCTED ; Award winning screenplays like MARLENE THE DIVINE, which won the Page for comedy, was shortlisted for the Academy's Nicholl Fellowship, and was selected for a Sundance thingy; BOOKS - including a short story collection , three novels, and a collection of visual art ; MUSIC (hey, a fella needs a hobby), some of which can be found on bandcamp and youtube
