Neighbor’s Table: Transformative Justice | Creative Director
Joshua Coe is a documentary filmmaker, born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. For the past ten years, Joshua has operated in the production world, learning the requirements of quality filmmaking. His desire is to create art that is good, something that he believes is uncommon around the subject of faith and filmmaking. He has found himself in spaces where he is privileged to capture the beauty of different cultures. From an early age, Joshua has been impacted by those who have been incarcerated, resulting in the realities of incarceration and gangs to be on the forefront of his heart. God has made a way for Joshua to share the stories of those he loves, his friends, and to also share the stories of many he has the pleasure of befriending. Joshua believes the stories of others is something that has a deep impact on the world, and especially the church when she chooses to listen.
