DJL ON A LOCATION SCOUT IN ARIZONA, USA

Meet Dustin

Owner. Director/Director of Photography.

“Expect a diversified array of artistic knowledge from an old soul who’s worked amongst the best in the industry, even walked the Red Carpet with Steven Spielberg.”
— Filmmaker Magazine

Dustin is an established American Voice Actor and Director/Director of Photography. Born and raised in Arizona, he began his career as an actor and dancer, studying at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in England, after which he moved to New York City where he worked as the janitor at Broadway Dance Center with a workman’s scholarship. Within 2 years he earned his AEA Card by reviving the roll of David in Harvey Fierstein’s classic, Torch Song Trilogy, and signed with ICM’s Voiceover Department,  making him  one of the youngest talent on their roster.

Dustin is a part of the Transformers Franchise as the voice of Autobot Evac on Transformers the Ride 3D and commercially has been heard across North America representing notable brands such as Tresemme, Fandango, and McDonalds. Additionally, he was the network voice of Fox Sports for over six years, while simultaneously resonating across VH1, MTV, HBO and more. Through his occasional on-camera pursuits, Dustin had the privilege of working under the guidance of Michael Bay, Timothy Busfield and other long established directors, which inspired Dustin’s second love: cinematography.

In 2019, he followed his heart and began to focus on his light shaping, studying under Larry Sher (The Joker, The Hangover) and Wally Pfister (Batman Franchise, Inception) in Los Angeles at the ASC Masterclass. Combining these talents came naturally and quickly earned him the title Director/Director of Photography, which he pursuits through his media and marketing firm, Finding You Pictures.

Today, Dustin works across the country as a Director/Director of Photography and devotes a portion of his time each month to giving back to his local community through his sister companies, Headshots and Cold Brews and Acting and Cold Brews.

Humble. Kind. Grateful.
