Educated in Film at Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL and working as a professional camera assistant, lighting technician and cinematographer since 2006, Justin’s experience serves any production well. He has worked on the sets of major studio motion pictures, scripted network television dramas, big budget music videos, dozens of commercials and TV documentaries. Justin has a passion for creative, visual storytelling rivaled only by his obsessions as a film gearhead. He lives in Greenville, South Carolina with his wife Gina and his Chocolate Lab, Jackson.
