Meet Joshaun Anderson

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Joshaun Anderson a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Joshaun, so great to be with you and I think a lot of folks are going to benefit from hearing your story and lessons and wisdom. Imposter Syndrome is something that we know how words to describe, but it’s something that has held people back forever and so we’re really interested to hear about your story and how you overcame imposter syndrome.

It was my first job on set, and I was a PA for a feature film. I was highly motivated and eager to break into the industry, ready to absorb as much information and build as many connections as I could. At the time, I had been holding a camera for about five years and was working as a video director for a wedding studio company, so I wasn’t unfamiliar with gear or visual language. Still, being on a professional set for the first time brought its own kind of nerves — and that imposter voice was loud for the first 2–3 years.

Overcoming imposter syndrome hasn’t been easy. It’s been a journey, an invitation for growth. In short, I had to outwork it. That’s been the truest remedy for me: doing the work and showing up consistently. I took on projects that were well outside my comfort zone, did things I’d never done before, and stayed open to learning from every experience. Along the way, I discovered what I loved, what I didn’t, and where I felt most alive.

I tried to keep my mindset focused on the long game. I knew where I wanted to go, even if I wasn’t there yet. It took about three years in the set world before I started to feel like I had found my rhythm.

I now approach every set differently; with humility, curiosity, and a desire to always grow. Over the years, I’ve stepped into leadership as both a producer and director, guiding multiple projects from concept to delivery. That journey has been less about arriving at mastery and more about embracing process: learning to ask better questions, build trust with my team, and stay anchored to a meaningful vision.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to build a strong network and develop an extensive portfolio, working with clients ranging from Sephora to Nike. I’m grateful for every lesson, every mistake, and every person who gave me a chance. Imposter syndrome hasn’t fully disappeared, but I’ve learned not to let it lead.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I’m currently going through a rebrand with my production company. I previously operated under The Anderson Studio, LLC, which functioned primarily as a media company. After working on a wide range of projects, from commercial corporate work to branded content and documentaries: I realized I wanted to be more intentional about the kind of work I create and the stories I tell.

That desire led to the birth of Mière Studios.

Mière was founded out of a longing to collaborate more deeply with artists, production companies, and creative agencies, and to produce work that reflects a more narrative-driven and experimental spirit. We aim to create visual stories that are emotionally grounded, cinematic, and culturally resonant. Whether it’s a branded campaign, a poetic short film, or a documentary, we approach each project with intention, curiosity, and a deep respect for the process.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Curiosity: Staying curious has kept me growing. Whether it’s learning a new camera system, exploring a different storytelling approach, or diving into someone’s perspective, curiosity has been my fuel. For anyone starting out: ask questions, experiment without fear, and never assume you’ve arrived. Curiosity will carry you further than talent alone.

Emotional Intelligence: Knowing how to read a room, listen deeply, and lead with empathy has made a bigger difference than any technical skill. Relationships are everything in this industry. If you can make people feel seen, heard, and safe to create, the work will always be better.

Resilience: There will be closed doors, slow seasons, missed opportunities, and internal doubts. The ones who make it are the ones who keep going, keep showing up, and keep adapting. Build habits that ground you. Stay rooted in your ‘why,’ not just your wins.

Overall (and this is something I’m constantly telling myself): Don’t rush the process. Master the fundamentals, but also master your mindset. Surround yourself with people who challenge and believe in you. And remember, this path is a marathon, not a sprint. Pace yourself, stay inspired, and don’t forget to breathe.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?

I’m always open to collaborating with passionate creatives: directors, producers, writers, musicians, and brands who value intentional storytelling and meaningful visuals. If you’re someone who leads with curiosity, heart, and a desire to create work that resonates deeply, I’d love to connect. You can reach me through my production company Miere or shoot me a message on Instagram or LinkedIn.
