Justin Malone is a multifaceted film professional, hailing from the Lone Star State, with a background that has been shaped by his parents' shared enthusiasm for classic cinema and rock music from a young age.
Growing up, Justin's curiosity was piqued by music and film, and he spent his childhood experimenting with cameras and learning to play multiple instruments simultaneously. His father and grandfather, both accomplished portrait photographers, introduced him to the world of large format cameras, various lenses, and darkroom chemistry, sparking a lifelong passion for filmmaking.
Justin's early exposure to photography led him to his first job in his uncle's photo lab, where he worked on custom printing for some of Dallas' top photographers. This hands-on experience and understanding of the technical aspects of photography naturally evolved into a deep appreciation for the art of filmmaking.
As he grew older, Justin's love for film, combined with his newfound knowledge, drove him to become the first member of his family to pursue a career in the motion picture industry.
Throughout his career, Justin's fascination with travel and culture has continued to inspire him, and at the age of 22, he founded Malone Pictures, a motion picture production company that has built a reputation for unique storytelling in both the entertainment and commercial industries.
Over the past 12 years, Justin has achieved significant success and critical acclaim in the film festival circuit, with his work attracting the attention of advertising agencies, leading to opportunities in directing national commercial campaigns.
Today, Justin splits his time between Los Angeles, Texas, and New York, focusing on his current film projects and continuing to push the boundaries of his creative vision.
