After delving into what iQ flicks is all about with its owner, Josh McCausland, I witnessed his eyes light up with a blend of terror and excitement. Here's what we gleaned from the conversation:

iQ flicks was born in 2014, right after Josh finished his stint as a contract videographer at Sony in Nashville. It became a brand that the humble owner could hide behind. With its works spanning various fields due to Josh's passion for a plethora of endeavors—almost too many to keep track of. I mean, seriously, who has time to sleep?

Technically speaking, iQ flicks specializes in short films, commercial work, and music videos, collaborating with numerous artists since its inception. "Music videos present the challenge and honor of telling a story in a concise format. You've got to respect that," Josh shared passionately when discussing his love for the medium.

During the interview, as boredom threatened to creep in, I found solace in my trusty smartphone. After pulling up Instagram and navigating to @joshatiqflicks, I was met with aesthetically pleasing content and a moderately-sized following. When I looked back up to Josh mid-ramble about black and white films (yet another tangent), I inquired about his stunning photography. "Oh yeah, I love capturing landscapes and waterfalls," he responded with a twinkle in his eye, revealing yet another layer of his creativity. He quickly went back to drill on about his inspirations.

Further exploring Josh's work, I stumbled upon his musical abilities. I interrupted him yet again, this time in the middle of a ramble about Tolkien’s mythology, and I asked him about his musical background. “Oh yeah, I started to play guitar in high school… well I played trumpet before that, but when my dad first showed be Stevie Ray Vaughn, I knew I wanted to do THAT. I kept playing guitar for years “in the dark” so to speak and then in 2018 I started publicly release music.” He quickly went back to talking about Tolkien. I scrolled on and interrupted him yet again, inquiring about the millions of streams he had acquired to which he paused and briefly replied, “Dumb luck I guess.”

As our interview came to a close, I couldn't help but ask Josh about his diverse skill set—from film and photography to graphic design, music, sketching, and painting—and why he chose to market them under iQ flicks rather than his own name. "iQ flicks is a reflection of myself. I prefer to blur the lines and let the work speak for itself," he replied, emphasizing his desire for the brand to stand on its own merits.

Reflecting on our conversation, it became clear that iQ flicks serves as a window into Josh McCausland's mind, offering glimpses of his creativity through various mediums. It's a platform for others to realize their visions, just as Josh has and continues to do.

So there you have it. Live long and prosper, and if you have any further inquiries, feel free to contact Josh through his website.
