Joseph has been a Guild member since 2019. His interest in puppets and film making stems from a very early age. Initially, he made informal short videos with a mobile phone, using handmade puppets and props. Gradually this developed into creating more in-depth storylines for short films, using a better camera, video editing, green screen, musical score and sound effects. 

Attending workshops, participating in amateur puppetry film making and events with the British Puppet Guild, and online learning with Avenue Q have all broadened Joseph’s skills, and he continues to create content intended for social media.

Jim Henson’s early work was a starting point for Joseph’s interests – this inspired him to re-create one of the characters from the Wilkins coffee (1957–1961) and Claussen’s bread (1962–1969) adverts, using scrap material.
