Justin Michael Ciambra
I’m the executive producer of Justin Michael Studios, a boutique production company based in New York City. We specialize in cinematic event videography that brings a narrative edge to once-in-a-lifetime moments.
For over two decades, I’ve produced, shot, and edited unscripted television — including shows like Say Yes to the Dress, Pawn Stars, and House Hunters International. That experience is what sets my work apart. I bring the same story instincts, editorial precision, and visual craftsmanship you’d expect from broadcast television. Now, I apply those same tools to stories that matter on a personal level — yours. Launching my own production company was a natural next step: a way to bring high-end, broadcast-caliber storytelling to the kinds of personal and professional events people remember for a lifetime.
Long Story Short is our signature docuseries-style offering — an emotional, character-driven narrative shaped with the pacing and structure of unscripted television. I lead a team of seasoned TV camera operators and producers I’ve worked with for years — professionals who capture every moment instinctively, without interrupting the flow of the day. Together, we craft stories you’ll want to watch again and again — not just to remember what happened, but to feel like you’re living it all over again.
Transforming Existing Footage Into Timeless Storytelling
You’ve captured something meaningful — now it deserves to be shaped into something beautiful, lasting, and deeply personal.
When life gets busy, even the most memorable footage can sit untouched. For example, Liz documented her IVF journey over the course of nearly two years. Now, we’re working together to bring that footage to life — creating a film her family can enjoy, and one her son will treasure as he grows older.
