“Cleanflix” co-director Joshua Ligairi (pronounced LeGary), of Fijian descent, was raised throughout the western United States. Active in Utah's film community since high school, he has participated in the Sundance Filmmakers Lab and the LDS Film Festival. In his art department day job, Josh has served as a department head over a dozen feature films. While in college, Josh became involved in filming the controversial speaking engagements of Sean Hannity and Michael Moore at Utah Valley University. His efforts became part of the 88-minute documentary, “This Divided State,” which, among other honors, was selected by the Center for American Progress for a 22 college-campus tour across the United States. In 2006, Josh directed “If Tomorrow Doesn't Change,” a documentary for Maverick Records Broke City about the recording of their major-label debut with drummer-turned-producer Branden Steineckert (Rancid, The Used). The film premiered on pay-per-view in 2007. Ligairi has also directed several commercials, EPK documentaries, short films and music videos. He is currently in production on his next documentary project, “Skeleton Picnic,” which deals with controversial issues within the Native American community. “Cleanflix” marks Ligairi's first feature-length documentary for theatrical release. Along with Jay Cheel, Josh is also the co-host of The Documentary Blog Podcast.
