About Justin Webster

Justin is an Emmy-winning documentary director and producer with a continuing passion for crafting non-fiction narratives. He developed this 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. After moving to Barcelona, as a freelance non-fiction writer, he began working regularly with leading photographers, and at the same time, he became an independent producer/director for news features and short documentaries. In 2004 he directed his first feature length documentary, FC Barcelona Confidential, which won several international awards and soon became a classic football film, for its amazing access and character-driven, observational, narrative style. Since then, Justin has directed a series of award-winning films, all produced by Sumpta Ayuso, founding partner of JWP, on subjects as diverse as the lives of jihadi terrorists, or the inspiring work of a transplant doctor, or the photographic testimony to the drama of African emigration, or the multi-award winning film, I Will Be Murdered, a story of love, murder and political conspiracy in Guatemala. The films are either interview-driven and investigative, or observational, following an unfolding story, but are all driven by the passion for discovering the right characters, and finding the compelling narrative through which to tell a real story. Justin holds the firm belief that true stories, told with craft but without invention, can be just as dramatic, creative and revealing as fiction.

    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.
