'This Is Pencil Tip', inspired by the infamous mockumentary 'This Is Spinal Tap', is a short 'mockutrailer' made in 48 hours for the annual Take48 competition as part of Sydney Underground Film Festival. Filmmakers were tasked to include in their films a post-it note and the line of dialogue "I Already Tried That." The resulting film is what eventuated from one weekend of stop motion madness.

Joshua is completing his PhD in design, film and documentary. His feature documentary 'The World's Best Film' is currently screening at festivals internationally and is the inspiration behind his research. Since completing this documentary he has been experimenting with new mediums & remaking other films that are considered the world's best -in animated form. Recent highlights include 'The Big Sweet'(The Big Sleep) which took home the 3rd jury prize in the 2020 TAKE48 and 'Sugar Wars' (Star Wars) which had its premiere at the Ritz Cinemas in 2021 and featured a cast of candy bars. His work spans reality, narrative and now anthropomorphic stationery.
