After years of directing and producing, the duo brought that journey full circle at Sundance this year with a comedy series they co-directed and wrote, “FreeLance.” The series follows Lance (Spence Moore II) as he attempts to make his first film alongside a tight-knit group of aspiring creatives – each chasing their own artistic dreams, from music videos to documentaries. In addition to co-directing and writing, Justen also stepped into the editing chair, shaping the series in Adobe Premiere. Having grown up shooting home videos and cutting them in Premiere, the Turners proudly consider themselves an “Adobe family.” Working alongside co-editor Evan Campbell, Justen wove together the show’s parallel storylines, balancing simultaneous creative journeys into one cohesive, energetic edit. We caught up with Justen to learn more about the making of the series.
