I’m Josh Rivett, a filmmaker and cinematographer based in Lincoln, United Kingdom. I am deeply passionate about creativity and storytelling, with hands-on experience across cameras, lighting, and editing gained through university projects and freelance work. I thrive in collaborative environments and mentoring fellow creatives, always aiming to deliver work that meets high standards.
