Narrative filmmaking was calling his name and it led to Justin’s directorial debut. Coup de grâce, his first short film, was premiered and exhibited at the Modern Art Museum, Centre Georges Pompidou, in Paris. His next two short films, Le devoir and Overtime, garnered an award for Best Emerging Director at an Academy Award Qualifying Film Festival and an Audience Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

This past year, Justin was a guest star Director on Germany’s Next Top Model, judging alongside Heidi Klum. He also graduated from Ryan Murphy’s mentorship initiative (Half Program) on the hit Fox show 9-1-1 and he is now ready to helm an episode of his own. Aside from his work in film, Justin is extremely passionate about mentoring and giving back to the community. He has guest lectured at the School of Visual Arts Masters Photography Program in New York and the University of Toronto Creators for Change Initiative. Justin believes in collaborating with brands that share the same vision. Last fall he was invited by the Canon Creator Class to provide insight and advice on the changing industry and where to find new opportunities.
