Josh Zammit is an Australian writer-director and visual artist based in Los Angeles. He co-wrote and produced the independent horror feature Observance, which screened at Fantasia and the BFI London Film Festival, and directed the stark black-and-white short Ascendant, which won Best Cinematography at the St Kilda Film Festival and earned an ACS Gold Tripod. His feature screenplay Seeder was a 2022 Academy Nicholl Fellowships Quarterfinalist.

​

With a background in post-production and a long-running collaboration with writer Samuel Loveridge, Zammit develops personal films that move through surrealism, existential dread and unresolved emotional terrain. A self-taught visual artist since childhood, his drawings carry the same raw, instinctive energy as his film work.

​

He is currently developing three features: Seeder, a dystopian science-fiction film; Dugong, an Australian coastal horror film he intends to direct; and Rising Star, a cosmic horror inspired by a real fossil discovery.
