Josh Paget was a comedian in Los Angeles for 13 years where he won awards for his stand up performances and comedy videos. In 2013, Paget used the fun, low-key atmosphere of the comedy club to found a film festival all about urban design and placemaking. His passion for place-based community development led him into the process of becoming a priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles. He continues to serve as festival director for the Better Cities Film Festival.
