Director Biography - Justin Brown

First-time filmmaker Justin Brown seeks out the unusual, the unconventional, and downright fringe stories buried in the personal truths of unique people, always seeking to preserve the testimony that pushes the boundaries of what is considered 'possible'. What is impossible today is tomorrow's homogeny.

Director Statement

"This is my first crack at film, and after having personally funded the entire project with a staff of one (me), I'd gladly do it again, if only, the story that presented itself, did so on the brink of absurdity."
