Joshua Coates discovered the art of film
making and theater production while attending
Philadelphia’s
High
School of Creative and
Performing Arts in 1996.
His love for movie making grew rapidly as he
often cut class during
school and spent countless hours after school
on editing machines
learning and perfecting
his craft. In 1997,
Joshua wrote and directed his first full-length independent film entitled GAME,
which was entered into the Derek Freese Independent Film Festival at Temple University. Out of hundreds of entries, GAME
placed 10th overall and this ignited Joshua’s passion of his craft

of 20/20 Visions Entertainment Group that is quickly making
headlines in the field of motion pictures.
