In late 1990, at the age of 17, Justin Stanley relocated to Los Angeles from his native England, where he gained experience in all aspects of the entertainment industry from the ground up. Starting as a production assistant on low budget movies, to working in development, post production, casting and assisting high profile producers.
Justin then gained writing experience, re-writing low budget movies for various production companies.
Justin's first original screenplay, The Shadow Men, was produced in 1997. It starred Sherilyn Fenn (Twin Peaks) and Academy Award nominees Eric Roberts (Runwaway Train) and Dean Stockwell (Blue Velvet). Produced for just over $2 million, it premiered on HBO, sold in all major overseas territories, and went on to ship over 50,000 units on video cassette, setting a record for the distribution company at the time.
Universal Pictures optioned Justin's horror spec screenplay, Immortals, with David Kirschner & Corey Sienega producing (Frailty, Secondhand Lions, Child's Play Series, Martian Child, Miss Potter).
