Born into a working class family in the small town of Sandwich, England, Justin Stanley discovered a passion for cinema and filmmaking at a young age. This passion led him to organise a London-based film festival which garnered a Stateside job offer as an assistant in the film industry from one of the festival's VIP guests. He jumped at the chance and hasn't looked back since and now counts Los Angeles as his second home.As an assistant he worked alongside some of the most respected producers and directors in the business. It was during a later stint in motion picture and television creative development that he discovered a knack for writing, which then became his career of choice. He has now written or co-written projects for companies like Universal Pictures, Arnon Milchan's New Regency, Marc Platt Productions, Atlas Independent, Fox Television and HBO, which involved producers and filmmakers such as David Kirschner (of the Child's Play series and Frailty), Oscar winner Arnold Kopelson, and visionary director Timur Bekmembatov.He is represented by Ed Hughes at Linda Seifert Management in the United Kingdom.
