Channel Title: a film by Josh Cox Channel Description: From writer/director Josh Cox <video> Honey | LGBT Short Film Description: Shortly following its original 2017 release on YouTube, Cox's first queer short film was age-restricted and shadow banned from the platform. Now, in an effort to reach audiences it once could not, the film is back to streaming in a special director's re-release. Honey follows a young woman who falls for another girl in her university residence hall. The film was entirely improvised, had no budget, and is Cox's earliest work of queer subject matter before he would go on to create films such as Summer of Mesa & Dino at the Beach. Some notable stylistic choices Cox made such as close-up handheld shots and aspect ratio immerses the viewer into the character’s suffocating headspace to make the experience more intimate. The final shot is the only shot where the camera isn’t extremely close up.

Cox wrote the short on a May afternoon in 2023. 2 weeks later, the film was cast via Instagram in a method dubbed by Cox as "digital street casting." Another 2 weeks passed and the actors, who were discovered on Instagram and who had never met each other, arrived on Cape Cod, Massachusetts where the film was shot over the next 2 days. The film had its world premiere on June 12, 2024 at the 26th Annual Provincetown International Film Festival where it opened the shorts program. In an interview, Cox recalled how FAR FROM WATER almost didn't exist, as he was initially set to shoot a feature in the spring of 2023, but decided to pursue developing a short to further hone-in on what he was trying to say through his art. Ultimately, he loved the story so much and moved into production for the project as quickly as possible. #FarFromWater #LGBTQ #ShortFilm </video> <video> Summer of Mesa (2020) Alternate Ending | In Honor of 10 Million Views Description: In honor of 10 million views on the 2020 film Summer of Mesa, filmmaker Josh Cox releases an alternate ending that was filmed where Lily turns down Noah's offer to go on a date. In the original cut of the film, Cox felt it was important to show how Lily's character reverted to someone dependent on a romantic relationship to help her move on from her impassioned summer romance with Mesa. However, Cox still wanted to leave the door open for Lily to choose herself sooner instead in this alternate take.
