Joshua Streeter
High Desert Association of Film, Theater & Performing Arts, Founder/ COO
Founder and COO of The High Desert Association of Film, theater and Performing Arts and Owner/Operator at DawggHouse Productions After relocating to the High Desert from Los Angles in 2017 with his family, Joshua was immediately drawn to its cinematic history, creative professionals, and the desire of the next generation of students and future filmmakers, often with little awareness or support. The High Desert Association of Film, Theater, and Performing Arts was created to meet that need. As a writer, director, producer, and owner/operator of DawggHouse Productions in Apple Valley and founder of our association, Joshua brings a unique mash-up of leadership qualities from the business world, the military, and fifteen years of production experience both behind and in front of the camera.
