She was awarded “Best Director” by Nokia N8: Direct and Project for her short film NORMAL DESIGN (which happens to star her now co-director, Brittany Baxter, drinking coffee at an alarmingly fast rate). Josephine is an alumnus of Berlinale Talent Campus 2011 and of DOXA Connexions 2010, a joint partnership between DOXA Documentary Film Festival and the National Film Board of Canada, where she made a short documentary called LOVE LIFE. Her first film, THE JANITOR, was nominated for Labour Video of the Year (LabourStart), was an official selection for DC Labor FilmFest 2010, and was invited to screen at McMaster University. She believes in informed, unfaltering optimism.
