About Jose

Jose Holder is a UK born professional illustrator and film director living in Montreal, Quebec. After years spent moonlighting as art instructor and architectural draftsman in a parallel universe, Jose reimagined a career in storytelling, where storyboards and sequential art opened up new opportunities in film, television, advertising, stage, animation, & comics. His directorial debut, a sci-fi horror short called REDRUBY, has gone on to win 31 festival awards worldwide, and will soon be released as part of a larger transmedia project.

In 2021, Jose was the recipient of two pioneering fellowships: The Reelworld Producer’s Program, presented by Bell Media; and the Netflix - Banff Diversity Of Voices Initiative, both dedicated to promoting BIPOC experiences and inclusivity across the Canadian entertainment landscape. His company, SteelWalker Productions Inc. is now set to develop sci-fi horror genre programming for television through broadcasters and streaming platforms in the digital space, and is in pre-development on two tv series.

He currently works as a Senior Concept Artist for Warner Bros. Games, has plans to produce two short films in 2021, and writes short speculative fiction on a weekly basis.
