He’s worked in the Camera and Electrical department on some HUGE projects- such as Severance, The Holdovers, and Dexter: New Blood- to name a few. He’s made a name for himself directing in the music video industry- including directing a video for the song “Take Me Home” by Dexter himself, Michael C Hall’s band “Princess Goes”.</p><p>With his experience, determination, and passion for the horror-genre and filmmaking- I truly believe Justin is a director to watch closely over the next few years. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chapters:</p><p>(00:00) Introduction &amp; Meet Justin Sullum (Big Bad Betty Director)</p><p>(01:15) Justin Sulham's Filmmaking Background &amp; Career Journey</p><p>(05:05) Horror Film Festivals, Networking &amp; Building Industry Relationships</p><p>(09:45) Why Horror Is the Strongest Independent Film Community</p><p>(14:55) Working on Dexter, Severance &amp; Directing Michael C.
