About

I work with every client seeking to emote their product, message, and brand.

I pride myself on my positive attitude and ability to see though any difficult situation facing me while keeping those around me in a similar spirits. I do, however, tell too many dad jokes.

Testimonials

Justin is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. His communication was thorough and prompt through pre production, and because of this he was able foresee and solve several potential problems. Every potential issue we discussed was immediately followed up with several options for solutions. Once a solution was decided upon, Justin was speedy in his implementation of the fix, whether that was a suggestion about a potential new crew member, a shift in production strategy, etc. It was very obvious to me that Justin has a wide array of different experiences that allow him to provide insight across any necessary element of our production.  

There were no surprises during our production days. His communication and coordination of our large crew was concise and measured. There was a clear emphasis on keeping everyone level headed and as low stress as possible, and it showed in our crew’s collective demeanor and quality of work. 

Justin embodies a “grab a room mindset”. In pre production, he set down his laptop to grab a paint brush. On production day, Justin recognized the need for an Assistant Director and he proactively jumped into the role himself. This allowed the Director and crew to continue working on what was in front of them, and Justin to absorb, decipher, and implement comments from relevant people on set. 

In conclusion, Justin would be an immense value add to any production he is a part of, in whatever role the job needs. The positive first impression one gets when speaking with him will translate into a job very well done.

Justin is a reliable professional who runs an efficient set with clear objectives. He is easily capable of leading teams of varying sizes, and infusing it all with a sense of humor.

His vast experience across multiple mediums makes him excellent at commanding a variety of positions across different platforms, from directing on a film set, to advertising photography, to sourcing talent from his extensive network. He's a joy to work with, blending a dutiful sense of organization with a fun authenticity. He's my first choice collaborator, and if you can get him, he'll be yours, too.
