Joshua Belcher is a new scriptwriter who started building his portfolio in January 2021. His work as a cinematographer on short films has made him perfect for creating imaginative image-driven scenes in his screenplays.
Joshua is dedicated to his work as a scriptwriter and often invests in Concept Art for his screenplays, supporting interesting scripts with stunning imagery. Despite being unpaid for his passion, he is dedicated and invested in writing like it is a full-time job. Joshua hopes to take it further and his dream is to eventually be able to sell a script.
The Temeraire is inspired by films such as The Lighthouse (2019) and Knives Out (2019). These films, like The Temeraire, are focused on unique characters with most of the film taking place in and around one location. For The Temeraire, I coupled a character-driven narrative with psychological imagery-based horror appropriate to the period my story is set. These elements came together to craft The Temeraire.
