ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Justin Mitchell is an LA-based filmmaker, surfer, cinematographer and member of the Motion Picture Editors Guild. He has just recently finished pre-visualization work on the upcoming Dreamworks production of Dreamgirls. Songs For Cassavetes, his debut feature documentary, was shown at the London Film Festival where the festival notes proclaimed, "[It] is that all too rare thing: a documentary feature in which form and content are perfectly attuned... A little gem, small but perfectly formed." Born in Hollywood, CA, Mitchell grew up in the Valley and moved to New York City in September of 2001, where he made his second film, Dirty Old Town. He then relocated back to the west coast and his move coincided with Death Cab for Cutie's tour, so naturally he jumped on their tour bus, his trusty Bolex in tow.
