Joshua DeFour: Heeding the Call of the 11th Order
Joshua DeFour has been making films since college, eventually dropping out of a journalism bachelor's program in December 2010 to join the U.S. Marine Corps as a combat videographer and broadcast journalist.
After leaving the Corps in March 2014, he was hired by Fathead, LLC. and created collaborative video spots with Warner Bros Pictures in support of the Harry Potter brand and a Father's Day veterans feature in conjunction with Operation Homefront. After being accepted into the University of Texas at Austin's MFA program in August 2015, DeFour completed his first festival-circuit short films, "MATCH: A Tinder Tale," "Baby Girl," and "10 Minutes To Show." His fourth film, "Plunge," was completed in December 2017.
We recently chatted with Joshua about his newest film, the docudrama "
The 11th Order."
