Movies by Joshua Weathersby

Joshua Weathersby is a rising star in the indie filmmaking world, known for his witty, offbeat sensibilities and a knack for finding the humor and heart in the mundane. With a background in sketch comedy and an eye for the absurd, Weathersby has carved out a unique niche, crafting quirky, character-driven stories that challenge traditional genre tropes. His 2023 film Laundry Day is a prime example of his distinctive style. What could have been a simple slice-of-life comedy instead becomes a delightfully deadpan exploration of loneliness, community, and the small moments that make up the fabric of our lives. Weathersby's keen observational skills and ability to find the extraordinary in the everyday have drawn comparisons to the work of directors like Jim Jarmusch and Wes Anderson, but his voice remains refreshingly his own. Weathersby's most recent film, 2025's Rocky's Galaxy: A Totally Mundane Christmas Adventure, further cements his reputation as a filmmaker unafraid to subvert expectations. Blending sci-fi elements with the traditions of the holiday movie, the film follows a group of beleaguered retail workers who discover an unexpected portal to the cosmos. By turns whimsical and wistful, Rocky's Galaxy is a testament to Weathersby's talent for crafting quirky, high-concept narratives that remain firmly grounded in the relatable experiences of his characters. As he continues to hone his craft, Joshua Weathersby is poised to become a distinctive and essential voice in independent cinema.
