About Yoshua Smith

Yoshua Smith started his passion for filmmaking ever since he was little. He wasn’t just interested in what was happening on the screen, but how it was made behind the scenes. That early curiosity quickly turned into something more: a deep, creative fire to tell stories his own way. By the time he reached high school, Yoshua had already decided he wasn’t going to wait for permission to start he was going to make something big. And he did.

Inherited was his first major project a supernatural drama that he wrote, directed, produced, and starred in, all while still attending school. With almost no professional backing, Yoshua built the film from the ground up. He gathered cast and crew, created shooting schedules, managed logistics, and even worked with his mom to secure a theater to premiere it. But Inherited wasn’t just impressive because of how it was made it was impressive because it worked. The story was full of emotional depth, thoughtful pacing, and surprisingly polished cinematography for an indie high school film. People walked away not just seeing a student project, but witnessing the birth of a true filmmaker.

Yoshua’s creative style is grounded in emotion. His stories often explore identity, legacy, inner strength, and the weight of responsibility. Even when his films take place in fantastical worlds with superpowered orbs and larger-than-life villains, the heart of the story is always human. As an actor, he brings a unique blend of strength and vulnerability to his roles capable of handling action-heavy scenes just as well as quiet, character-driven moments. As a screenwriter, his dialogue feels natural and authentic. He avoids clichés and writes characters who feel real flawed, complex, and relatable. His storytelling voice is honest and unfiltered, which is exactly why it stands out.

But Yoshua isn’t just a creative he’s a self-starter. Beyond writing and performing, he takes control of the entire production process. From casting to directing to editing, he’s hands-on every step of the way. He knows how to lead a project from vision to execution, and he’s not afraid to do the hard work that comes with it. That work ethic has only grown as he prepares for his next film, Inherited: Reclamation, the highly anticipated sequel that expands everything he built in the original. The stakes are higher, the characters more layered, and the world richer with new orb powers, deeper themes, and a darker, more intense tone. The story introduces fresh faces, including a masked villain called “The Unnamed,” and explores the tension between power and purpose a signature theme in Yoshua’s work.

What makes Yoshua different is his attention to detail. Every scene, every frame, every line he approaches it all with intention. He’s the kind of artist who will spend extra hours refining a single moment, not for perfection’s sake, but because he knows that even the small things can leave a lasting impact. And his dedication doesn’t stop at filmmaking. With a growing presence across social platforms and more projects in the works, Yoshua is building a name that people are starting to remember not just for what he’s made, but for the way he makes it.

Yoshua Smith isn’t trying to be the next someone else. He’s carving out his own lane one film, one scene, one story at a time. And in a world full of noise, his voice is cutting through with something honest, powerful, and real.
