After years of making viral, award-winning short films that were selected at film festivals worldwide, Justin made his feature film debut with the hit horror movie, Countdown. Made with a budget of $6 million, the film (which was based on a short film he wrote/directed) exceeded all expectations, grossing over $60 million worldwide. 

Born and raised just outside of Boston, Justin’s love of movies began at the Showcase Cinema where his mother worked ripping tickets. He spent countless hours of his childhood there, daydreaming about making that same kind of original, genre-bending popcorn entertainment that he grew up watching in the 80’s and 90's.

Justin holds a degree in Film Production from Full Sail University, where he honed his technical skills and deepened his understanding of the art of filmmaking. He is currently in development on several films, including Countdown 2.0, and has just completed his first novel.
