Justin Dec, a native of Woburn, Massachusetts, a charming suburb of Boston, embarked on a journey that would eventually lead him to the world of film. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Animation (BSA) from the renowned Full Sail University in 2001, Dec began his career as a production assistant, gaining valuable experience in the industry.
Years of hard work and dedication eventually led Dec to write and direct his first short film, "Rolling", which became a film festival favorite, impressing audiences and critics alike. The film's success culminated in Dec being awarded Best Director at the prestigious 2010 New York Television Festival.
Dec's impressive portfolio continued to grow, with two Vimeo Staff Picks and an Addy-Award Winning commercial campaign under his belt. His online presence also flourished, with over 10 million views of his work. This success ultimately paved the way for Dec to make his feature film debut with "Countdown", a film that would go on to achieve remarkable box office success.
The film, which cost a modest $6.5 million to produce, opened at number one at the domestic box office, a testament to Dec's growing reputation as a talented filmmaker. "Countdown" has since grossed over $60 million worldwide, a remarkable achievement that solidifies Dec's position as a rising star in the film industry.
