044 Back Fork Beginnings: Josh Stewart's Heartfelt Project

Join Kahmeela for an exclusive episode of Down To Watch as she sits down with the incredibly talented Josh Stewart. Known for his roles in "Criminal Minds," "The Dark Knight Rises," and "The Collector" series, Josh is here to discuss his deeply personal new project, "Back Fork." This upcoming film, which Josh has written, will also see him in the roles of producer, director, and lead actor.

In "Back Fork," we follow the emotional journey of Waylon, a man trying to piece his life together after a devastating tragedy, only to find himself trapped in the dark world of opioid addiction. Set against the backdrop of West Virginia, this narrative aims to shed light on the opioid crisis plaguing Appalachia.

Josh opens up about the story's inspiration, his connection to West Virginia, and the challenges of wearing multiple hats in the filmmaking process. He also shares his thoughts on the impact of art in raising awareness and promoting social change.
