"Perspective Shift" - Episode #2 - Prue Stevenson
Perspective Shift is a documentary series which explores the triumphs and trials of some of Australia’s top practitioners in the arts industries, who also happen to be people with disability. Each 30-minute episode focuses on one individual excelling in an area of the Arts and explores their craft and their lived-experience.
Episode #2 - Prue Stevenson, is about one of Australia’s top emerging visual and performance artists, having exhibited work nationally and notably at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) Australia, in Sydney. Prue’s art practice was birthed from her identity as an autistic woman and is an integral way that she connects with the world around her. Many of her art pieces invite audiences into her autistic culture, sharing and celebrating her unique “Prue version of Autism”. We too are invited into Prue’s story, travelling on her journey to becoming a leading artist in Australia.

Josh started his film and TV career as an actor and after spending time on various sets for a few years, decided that his interests lay more in being behind the camera. Josh initially spent six years writing, shooting, and directing commercial content with a focus on work for clients in the "for purpose" space, uncovering the human stories behind brands and organisations. Josh's first broadcast credit was Perspective Shift: Episode #2 - Prue, and he counts it a privilege to have been invited into her life and story for this series. Josh is a full-time, in-house director at Taste Creative, where he is currently working on Perspective Shift Season Two, amongst a slate of other commercial and entertainment projects.
