#9 - Writer & Director Justin Robinson

Today’s guest on the Hometown Hollywood podcast is Justin Robinson, a writer and director in Charlotte, North Carolina. I don’t know if I have ever or will meet anyone else quite like Justin. After watching and crying through his Documentary “My Brother Jordan” which now has over 11 MILLION views and is getting crazy attention all over the world, I started watching tons of his other sketches and short films and I knew I had to get him on the show. If you haven’t seen the doc, I would recommend you watch it as soon as possible. He has a crazy journey and he’s basically worked with all my childhood filmmaking heroes through the years. If you need some motivation to work harder and to be more intentional in life and with your film career, look no further than the soothing, metaphor-filled advice Justin gives in the show. Also, people often confuse him with Columbian Singer “Maluma '' so I thought this background music would be appropriate. In this interview, you’ll learn about Justin's crazy work ethic and sleep struggles, potential ventures in ASMR, Working with YouTube legends like Jamie Costa, Olan Rogers, Brett Driver, and more, where to seek inspiration for great dialogue, How to make filmmaking personal, his strange first encounter with Ryan Connally and the Film Riot gang, Josh Connolly’s untapped acting potential, Art the Fart, Matthew McConaughey and a desert writing cabin, and how he’s handling all the well deserved success of "My Brother Jordan". Justin is a great guy, it was an honor to hear about his journey and I learned a ton from this interview. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did so Let's get right into the show.
