In Episode 17 of our Gent’s Talk Podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with award-winning director Justin Wu!
The Toronto-based director and photographer touched on some of his identity issues growing up, his time spent in Paris/ New York and how he plans to help change the industry for upcoming Canadian artists.

To Leave, Or Not To Leave?
Although a product of moving abroad and succeeding himself, Justin is making strides in removing the stigma that one has to leave Canada and go to a bigger market to flourish. Toronto is already a big market, and he believes that Canada will become the epicentre for artists; with the right resources. With some privilege now, Justin aspires to help whomever he can, and his love for Toronto is evident in how his face brightens when he speaks of home.
“The world is such a beautiful place where we have all unique stories, and yet at the same time so many universal struggles”
Justin Wu
