Justin DiPego is a writer and filmmaker with decades of experience and a passion for storytelling across multiple genres and media. He lives in a 100 year old haunted house in South LA and is slowly fixing it up (but not exorcising it) with his wife and their dog. Justin is sought-after as a screenwriter, script doctor and script consultant. He has written such films as Ghost of New Orleans (starring Lake Bell, Josh Lucas and Terrence Howard) and Tempting Fate (starring Ming-Na Wen and Tate Donovan). He wrote, produced, directed and starred in the award-winning independent horror feature, #1915House. Development deals include Touchstone Pictures and MGM. His first novel, "Seven o'Clock Man," a psycho-noir murder mystery set on L.A.'s Skid Row, debuted to five star reviews. His next novel, gritty urban-fantasy, "Wrong Side of a Workingman" also launched to five star reviews, and books 2 and 3 of the trilogy are in the works. He introduced his new, hard-boiled, punk rock detective Nick Paras with the 1# best-selling short story "Saint Nick," and more Nick Paras novels are coming soon.
