About


Joshua Brucker is an independent filmmaker, freelance photographer, writer, director, and producer known for his work in horror, particularly found-footage and documentary-style filmmaking. Based in Illinois, Brucker has built a body of work focused on grounded storytelling, unsettling atmosphere, and the idea that the most frightening stories can feel disturbingly real.
