The Journal is about a young man who lost his mother when he was about 5 years old... and how it changed him and shaped him. Much later in life, he found a journal that his mom had written for him during her terminal illness, but he couldn't bring himself to open it. Toward the end of the film, the journal helps him get to know the mother he never really knew, and changes his life forever. In a short 15 minutes, it tells an emotional story that you just don't want to end.
Josh plays Young Alex in the film. It was a wonderful experience for him... SUCH an amazing crew and a director (Sam Wasserman) that Josh really connected with. He loved it. He also enjoyed wearing footie pajamas for two straight days!
As an unexpected honor, the director gave Josh an "introducing" credit. Watch for it at the end of the film!
Below is a short compilation of clips from the film. The director is not yet able to post the film in its entirety due to festival regulations.
