Meet JUSTINE QUART

Director of Photography & Senior Producer

Justine Quart is a Hudson Valley and New York City based documentary filmmaker, director of photography, and senior producer. She is known for verité-style cinematography and character-driven storytelling that captures real moments with intimacy, restraint, and emotional depth. Her work centers people and place, often exploring the quiet tensions where power, vulnerability, and change intersect.

With nearly 15 years of experience working as staff at leading media organizations including ABC News, CNN, Discovery, and The Economist, Justine brings a rare blend of journalistic rigor and cinematic sensibility to every project. She has led and shaped short films, digital series, and streaming projects across a wide range of contexts, and frequently collaborates with other directors as a producer, cameraperson and creative partner. That breadth continues to inform a practice grounded in trust, presence, and responsibility behind the camera.

Today, Justine creates short films and branded documentaries for media organizations, nonprofits, foundations, agencies, mission-driven brands, and independent directors. She works hands-on in the field and collaborates closely with small, trusted teams, adapting her role to the needs of each project. Her visual style is observational and immersive, prioritizing authenticity, texture, and emotional truth.

Her work has received recognition from the Webby Awards, Edward R. Murrow Awards, Eppy Awards, and the National Association of Black Journalists, and has been featured in outlets including Variety, IndieWire, TechCrunch, Newsweek, and The New York Post. She is a graduate of Brown University and UC Berkeley’s Graduate School of Journalism.

Justine first discovered storytelling in the darkroom, where she learned to slow down and pay attention. That sensibility still guides her work today, as she seeks moments of connection, curiosity, and meaning through the lens.
