Justin is an award-winning director and executive producer with 20 years of experience in telling true stories on film. He is currently working on documentary series and features. Over the last 5 years he has made four "cinematic non-fiction series", a term he has promoted to put the emphasis on what he think makes them special, the character-driven narrative, which differentiates them from the many other forms that "documentary" covers.Four ground-breaking series: the critically-acclaimed Death in León (2016, Movistar, relaunched 2019, HBO Spain), the globally-released Emmy-winning Six Dreams (2018, Amazon), top-rated The Pioneer (2019, HBO Europe) and The Prosecutor, The President and the Spy (a Spanish, US and German co-production) which premiered at the San Sebastian film festival in September, 2019, and was released on Netflix, ZDF and Movistar in January, 2020.His feature documentaries for international audiences include Emmy-nominated "Gabo, the Creation of Gabriel García Márquez" and multi-award winning "I Will Be Murdered." Justin developed his craft first as a writer, while working as a reporter for The Independent in London the early 90s, having graduated in classical literature from Cambridge University. He is driven by a passion for discovering the meaning of the story through the experience of the characters, and finding the compelling original and true narrative with which to tell it. All is based on the belief that true stories, told with creativity but without invention, can be as dramatic as, and often more revealing than fiction.
