About Josh C.

Josh Chitwood was born in Indiana in 1994 and was raised in a small southern Illinois town. As a transplant family from Indianapolis, and with Syrian-Lebanese roots, his family did not fit the mold of this rural town. Filmmaking and the creative process became his outlet at an early age. Throughout high school, Josh began developing his craft by making skate films, short documentaries and videos for his parent's church. In 2012, Josh moved from Illinois to Minnesota where he met his wife, Morgan. In 2014, Josh and Morgan started a film company called Chitwood Media. The heart of their work is to create films that cultivate inspiration, expand perspective, empower community and affirm hope. Their films reflect the unique creativity ingrained in each individual that goes beyond mimicking the popular. The themes of their storytelling and cinematography challenge misconception, reveal beauty, and reflect their personal faith. In October of 2021, the two relocated their business from Minneapolis to Indianapolis. In his free time, Josh enjoys spending time in his home and community with Morgan and their three sons, Marquelle, Reggie and Tony.

About Rocky W.

I've got one simple belief that drives my personal and professional life: people need connections and the best ones come from communication that’s real and simple. A communicator to the core, all work and no play wouldn't really bother me, but I have my fun too: I love hanging out with my wife and three sons whether at home or on the road. We're all Disney fanatics who visit Disney Parks annually. I'm an amateur chef who spent this summer building a traditional brick pizza oven in my backyard. And like any real professional at a video production company, I'm an avid fan of watching movies. The project I'm currently most excited about is Finding Hygge, the first feature-length documentary film our team at 12 Stars Media has produced. It's a journey to find the real meaning of the Danish word hygge, through a glimpse into the lives of the happiest people on the planet.
