Hi, I’m Justin Ian Festejo, an Emmy Award–winning Cinematographer, Producer, and Editor based in New York. I bring over a decade of experience shaping editorial, branded, and luxury content—from Complex Networks to Robb Report and REVOLT TV—by blending strong storytelling with precise camera work, lighting, and a cinematic eye. I thrive on collaborating with creative teams to deliver visuals that engage audiences and meet strategic goals. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m color grading, shaping motion graphics, and refining edits in my go-to toolbox (DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Premiere Pro). I love solving creative challenges across long-form and short-form formats, and I’m always excited to bring ideas to life through thoughtful production planning and execution.
