Justin Hawk   Behind and in front of the camera, and at the editing console, Justin brings a keen sense of the possibilities in video and new media to Pentimenti. Winning his place on a European tour ship through submission of a video he wrote and produced launched the career of the multi-talented California native. “It’s a world community out there, and video is bringing people together, dissolving barriers and entertaining at the same time,” he points out. Whether shooting promos for internationally known DJs or editing videos for business clients, Justin brings it with energy and style.  • SDSU Film and New Media Program graduate
