As a director, Justin started producing short content under the banner Tempered Zealot Productions to better understand several aspects of filmmaking processes, and to hone his directing abilities.

Justin has produced seven (7) short films to date. A Thousand Words: Bloodline, co-written and co-directed with Jerod Brennen, won Best Horror Short at The Indie Gathering (2007) and Best Music at Frightmares Film Festival (2007).

Justin is continuing to develop feature-length and short content. Tempered Zealot Productions anticipates wrapping production on an independent feature, Dream Thirteen, and producing another short film in 2008. Justin is actively seeking partnerships with professional production companies interested in producing and distributing a feature horror trilogy.

    Since the club's creation in 1998, thousands of filmmakers have benefited from IndieClub.com. The organization offers many opportunities to meet, network, and collaborate with other filmmakers, actors, and crew. Eric Colley, the President of IndieClub.com, is a director, producer, writer, and actor from Washington State. He created IndieClub.com because he saw a need for a major film organization geared at connecting people in the industry as well as encouraging film organizations to work together. Nine years later, hundreds of partnerships, and over 30,000 members, it is clear that he was right.
