Justin DiPego, a seasoned writer and filmmaker with a lifelong passion for storytelling, has spent decades honing his craft across various genres and media. He resides in a 100-year-old haunted house in South LA, which he is gradually restoring with his wife and their dog. Despite the eerie atmosphere, he has chosen not to exorcise the property.
As a sought-after screenwriter, script doctor, and script consultant, Justin has worked on numerous films, including the critically acclaimed "Ghost of New Orleans" and "Tempting Fate". His most notable achievement is the award-winning independent horror feature "#1915House", which he wrote, produced, directed, and starred in.
In addition to his film credits, Justin has also ventured into literature. His debut novel, "Seven o'Clock Man", a psycho-noir murder mystery set on L.A.'s Skid Row, received five-star reviews upon its release. His subsequent novel, "Wrong Side of a Workingman", a gritty urban-fantasy, also received widespread acclaim, and the next two installments in the trilogy are currently in development.
Justin has also introduced his new hard-boiled, punk rock detective Nick Paras through the best-selling short story "Saint Nick", and further Nick Paras novels are forthcoming.
