Justin has spent his entire adult life working in film and television: getting his start over 25 years ago as an assistant accountant on big budget shows while he financed, wrote, produced and directed his own independent films. His career has already included over 100 productions ranging from features and shorts to series and documentaries.
Some of Justin’s work can be seen in such projects as If Wishes Were Horses, The Seder (NSI Winner, DGC Awards Nominee), and the original drama Group Home. AntiBirth, a recent feature produced by Justin had its world premiere at Sundance.
Justin’s experience in film and television has crossed many facets of production including as president of Timshel Pictures from 2012 to 2018. In 2013 Justin joined the Feature Film Committee of the Canadian Media Production Association. He served as the representative of the production caucus on the executive board of the Director’s Guild of Canada from 2014 to 2018. In 2019 he partnered with Zach Hagen to create Black Sheep Pictures.
