Justin Juice Black

Founder

Justin Juice Black is a multiple award-winning Black British writer, director and producer who takes pride in breaking down the barriers and expectations that are placed upon Black filmmakers.

With a career entirely in the entertainment industry, Justin actually started out in the music side of the entertainment business. During that time he worked with many A-List international artists in the role of public relations, management and consultancy. With his success in that field, he then chose to follow his true passion and migrated full-time to the film business.

He was hand-picked for the prestigious Hollywood Film Festival’s Accelerator Program, which identifies emerging and breakthrough filmmakers from around the world, flies them to LA and places them under the wing of established Hollywood mentors. This led to several of his current and in-development productions.

 

Justin also provides private consulting services for third-party productions.
