Joshua Marston was born in California. His way to film direction has been atypical. Indeed, he first worked in Paris as a journalist for Life, then for ABC News during the Gulf War. He later turned to teaching in Prague where he was an English teacher for a year. Back in the USA he gaduated in Chicago, becoming a master of political sciences before getting a film direction degree from the University of New York. He made his first short in 1999.
