FILMMAKERS
Remi Vaughn
Writer, Producer, Director, and Editor
Remi Vaughn is a graduate of the National French School of Cinematography in Paris, has a B.A. in Mass Media & Film, a B.A. in Anglo-Saxon Literature, and an MSBA in Information Technology and Financial Management. As a cybersecurity professional, Remi has worked for global banking and entertainment organizations. Living in-between two worlds – the creative world and technical world – Remi constantly strives to blend both skill sets.
My goal, as a documentary filmmaker, is to unlock the “what could have been” and “what could be” – in other words, all of these what-if realities that people often dare not say out loud in real life. What I love most is working with people and urge them to visualize these what-if realities – so they can take action to change their own reality.
Critics may not always appreciate my creative choices, stating that my what-if approach belongs more in the world of fiction. I do not agree. Why can’t documentaries be a means to express our unique hidden filters? I hope I can achieve this goal with Tales of Transformation.

Josiah Duka
Graphics Designer
Josiah Duka is a graphics designer living and working in North Phoenix. His work encompasses branding and identity, web and digital design, as well as print marketing and advertisements. He has a passion for giving clients a compelling visual identity to help connect their business, product, or organization with the public.
Josiah’s enthusiasm for graphic design started early. At seven years old, he was designing flyers and brochures in Publisher ’98, as every normal kid does, not realizing that he could get paid for this passion. By eleven, he was using design (still Publisher) to prank his dad with fake mail, that, admittedly went too far a couple times, but further fueled his excitement for this art form. He quickly reformed his ways and put his energy into making money with design. He got his first logo client at 12 and made a whopping $200. He was hooked. At 14, he got his first copy of Photoshop. No more Publisher!! A few months later he got his first job, at a marketing company, as a designer. In his own words: “Coincidence? I think not. Now that I’m 21 (this bio is starting to sound like a bizarre rendition of “7 Years” by Lukas Graham), my passion for this work has only increased. I may not be that trouble-making child designer, perched in front of MS Office ’98, gazing into a CRT monitor the size of Kansas anymore, but that spark has never left.”
