Josh’s slasher comedy movie, “Detention”, has been picked up production company Sony Pictures and will be heading to theatres worldwide. Mixing elements of comedy, horror, sci-fi and action movies, the film centers on a group of high school seniors who face off against a slasher killer, and ultimately find themselves in a position to save the world – if only they can get out of detention.
