He then transitioned to directing live-action and VFX-heavy campaigns as a client-direct freelancer out of Original Films and Bodega.
Dallas-native Justin Malone first broke onto the filmmaking scene with his feature documentary Hurry Up and Wait, which won festival awards all over the world and was picked up for distribution by Film Buff. His first narrative short Blue is beginning its festival run at the 2014 Miami International Film Festival and Newport Beach Film Festival, among many others.
