What does being a Maine Guide have to do with location sound?


It assures that I am comfortable and capable in any location or condition. I am an asset when traveling through the woods or on the water. I am also good with weather patterns, plant and animal identification and orientation. I am CPR certified and have wilderness first aid training.
Profile
Location Sound Mixer and Registered Maine Guide.
Justin has traveled the world as a sound mixer working for the biggest names — National Geographic, CBS, HBO, and more — under some of the most trying conditions — blizzards, high-humidity heat waves, torrential downpours — delivering top quality sound for nearly a decade.
Based in Southern Maine where he is a Registered Maine Guide and a member of a statewide search and rescue team, he’s prepared for any conditions. He’s skilled at shoots in remote settings, aboard boats, mountain tops and islands, and equally comfortable in the studio.
Justin has extensive documentary/reality, verité, narrative, political campaign and corporate experience. He has the personality, situational awareness and top-of-the line equipment needed for a smooth shoot. A creative problem solver, he’s always on time and ready to work, making him a valuable asset on any set.
Shooting experiences include: Survivor, Maine Magazine, Stranded, Building Off the Grid, 30 for 30, True North and many more.
Justin is capable of any sized project and available for anything from single to multi-days local or abroad.
