| Submission declined on 6 January 2024 by Ca (talk). I think you should make an article about his most notable film Waves Apart, since there is not much information for the filmmaker himself. Thanks! Declined by Ca 4 months ago. | |
Comment: some WP:Citation overkill here appears to be an attempt to cover shortcomings in the rest of the article. Not a lot of independent coverage, one source is literally a blog post written by the subject, others are interviews that are by definition WP:Primary sources for information about the subject. Other statements of fact in this WP:BLP are unreferenced or inadequately cited. microbiologyMarcus (petri dish·growths) 21:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Josh Greene (born December 16, 1999) is an American filmmaker.
He is best known for his film Waves Apart (2022), which, in 2023, won the Cannes Film Festival: Emerging Filmmakers Showcase Award for Best Documentary.[1][2][3][4] Waves Apart received recognition as a Finalist for the 49th Annual Student Academy Awards.[5][6]
He is currently co-directing an upcoming documentary titled You Will Not Replace Us which is scheduled to be released in 2024.[7]
Biography[edit]
Greene was born in Chicago, Illinois. He spent most of his upbringing in San Clemente, California. His upbringing in San Clemente became the basis for his early filmmaking career.[8] This included his interest in environmental activism, such as when he lobbied the San Clemente City Council to ban plastic pollution in the community.[9] In his senior year, Greene helped create the first video production course at San Clemente High School.[10] In 2018, Greene won the inaugural Triton Film Festival.[11]
He is a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts, where he received a Fine Arts degree in Film and Television Production. Minoring in Screenwriting, Greene also spent a semester contributing to the Daily Trojan.[12]
For his senior thesis film project, Greene directed Waves Apart, a documentary about antisemitism in surfing, which went on to premiere at the 2023 Santa Barbara International Film Festival. He also served as the first-person narrator for the film.[13][14][15][16][17][18]
In Waves Apart, Greene filmed with world champion surfer Shaun Tomson.
While screening Waves Apart at the Annapolis Film Festival, Greene, along with filmmaker Luke Harris, won the fifth annual Annapolis Shorts Challenge. For their upcoming documentary titled You Will Not Replace Us, Greene and Harris received a prize of production and post-production packages.[19] You Will Not Replace Us is described as a documentary drama which uses "music as a landscape to confront an ongoing wave of tensions between the Black and Jewish communities."[20]
