Justin Trefgarne

Justin’s debut feature as writer-director is the sci-fi thriller NARCOPOLIS which premiered at the EIFF and was released by Altitude/UK and IFC/US. It spawned a graphic novel spin off released globally by Heavy Metal. Justin devised and wrote all ten episodes of the YouTube Original SHERWOOD, which has had over 70m views. Justin was head writer and voice director for Nickelodeon’s reboot of PETER RABBIT for which he was nominated for an Emmy. Having trained as an actor before directing for theatre, and after a stint in development at Working Title, he started making short films and writing screenplays including DESIRE (Damien Lewis) which opened London’s Sundance Film Festival. He has written screenplays for Film4, The BFI and Ruby Films, amongst others. Justin recently wrote and directed THE RAZUMOV TAPES, an innovative six-part audio-series starring Jessica Brown Findlay for Cup and Nuzzle (True Spies). His second feature, SHAKE LOOSE THE BORDER, billed as the ‘first Western’, is being developed as a co-production between Jack Lowden (Mary Queen of Scots), Ed King (His House) and Lee Brazier (Yesterday). Justin’s first TV project is in development with Sharp House TV.
