It's been a busy few years in Cincinnati, Ohio. Josh Sempsrott has recently written and directed three feature documentary projects while recently launching a brand new digital content network in 2026. After his first feature documentary film The Millcroft: Legends & Spirits was released in 2023, Sempsrott joined 1831 Media Network as its first video producer where he'd produce The Sean Miller Podcast for two years.

 

With the success of the Miller Podcast came the first ever college basketball reality docu-series that followed a team from day one of summer camp through the aftermath of a March Madness loss. Sempsrott's writing and direction on ALL IN immersed Xavier Basketball fans in exclusive behind-the-scenes moments and told the story of their season like never before.

 

After ALL IN, Sempsrott helped 1831 Media Network gain the international eye as the greatest tennis stars in the world came to Cincinnati for the oldest continuous tennis tournament in America. Cincinnati's Open juxtaposed the charm of the tournament's history against the fight to end it all, while racing through the action of the two-week championship. But just eight months after a champion was crowned...

​

Sempsrott's focus turned to a new crown. The Crown. Josh Sempsrott is currently the creative lead and Director of Production at The Crown Network, owned by 1831 Media Network. With five hours of live morning programming, four other talk & entertainment shows and yet another documentary in production-- Sempsrott enjoys leading a team of talented storytellers uncovering authentic stories across the city he grew up in. 
 

Previously, Sempsrott served as a remote broadcast specialist for five years and continues freelancing on sports broadcasts in the midwest region.​
