Justin Nathanson (Director/Editor) is a independent film director and editor, and Executive Director of ChasDOC, a non-profit organization he founded to create documentary films based on local stories. ChasDOC organized the 2006 Charleston Documentary Film Festival, an event to showcase the best environmental and human rights films. “Bin Yah: There’s No Place Like Home” is the first feature-length project of ChasDOC.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Nathanson’s first directorial effort was “BURN,” an independent feature film completed at 19 years old while at New York’s School of Visual Arts. While still in film school, Nathanson was asked to produce Greg Paine’s “Baby Shakes and the Return of Mac Daddy,” a comedy about a failed writer/bike messenger in over his head.

For 15 years, Nathanson has produced, directed and edited commercials, films, and television shows in Los Angeles, Miami and New York for clients such as Lamborghini, Macy’s, Estee Lauder, Gatorade, and Jeep/Wrangler. His work has been seen on television shows such as “The Howard Stern Show,” Comedy Central’s “Beat the Geeks,” and Fox Sports “The Best Damn Sports Show Period.” He also worked on the feature documentaries “Blue Vinyl”, “Everything’s Cool”, and “Hood Dawgs”.

In addition to ChasDOC and running The Cut Company, a full service film and TV production company, Nathanson and partners are launching a new commercial advertising company late 2008.
