Joshua Frank is a documentary filmmaker and journalist currently based in New York City. Though born in Montreal, he has spent more time in Beijing than any other place.
Frank has produced videos for The New York Times, Vice, and Monocle, and published writing in the Los Angeles Times. His first documentary, Howling into Harmony, is an intimate look at Beijing’s experimental music scene. The film follows three young musicians and their parents, exploring their family relationships and the delicate balance between rebelliousness, nationalism, and nostalgia. It is currently distributed by Filmakers Library.
He holds an M.A. in documentary journalism from New York University and a bachelor’s in East Asian Studies from McGill University.
