Joshua J. Provost is an award-winning director of photography based in Phoenix who enjoys harnessing every aspect of the visual language in service of the story. He also writes and directs on occasion. As a cofounder of Matter of Chance Productions he has produced over thirty short films and music videos. He is currently in production on a feature-length documentary about a painter and a musician making collaborative works.
As an admirer of the French New Wave, I found it inconceivable to visit Paris without making a film of some kind. I imagined the philosophical interrogation of a mysterious character. He is challenged to confront the nature of love through an examination of his surroundings. Repetition of images is used to cast common things into a new light, hopefully to the surprise and delight of the viewer.
