Bio:
Justin Mashouf became interested in film and video in Junior high when he insisted on shooting many of his school projects on video and screening them to the class. While attending high school, Justin was assigned to make a public service announcement about littering to be aired on close circuit television at his high school campus. Due to the unexpected popularity of the video, Justin produced a series of award winning public service announcements every month until he graduated in 2003. Once at the University of Arizona Justin did not let his limited access to University equipment ruin his plans of making films. He began working on local film and television shoots gaining hands on experience and connecting with local filmmakers. During this time Justin also worked as a freelance journalist for Iranian television station Jame Jam. With the experience and relationships he collected in Arizona he co directed and produced a 20 minute short drama/comedy called The Runners in 2007. The Runners is about a Mexican man who crosses the border illegally, marries an American woman, and finds out that the American dream is harder than it seems. The film is currently touring the festival circuit. Mashouf has one year before finishing his bachelors at the University of Arizona. Justin's current project Warring Factions is his most ambitious and important to date. Upon completing the film he hopes to tour the international festival circuit and seek major distribution for the project. After graduating from the University Justin plans to travel to the Middle East and Southeast Asia to produce film and documentary.
