We’re thrilled to announce that Justin Kueber of Guerrilla Motion Pictures & Sky High YEG has been named to Edify Edmonton’s Top 40 Under 40 Class of 2024! This recognition highlights his commitment to creating stories that resonate, inspire, and spark meaningful change. At Guerrilla Motion Pictures, we are proud to have Justin’s vision leading our projects and pushing the boundaries of storytelling in Edmonton and beyond.
From the inception of Guerrilla Motion Pictures, Justin has strived to stay true to his identity as a filmmaker and advocate for important social issues. His passion for storytelling has brought documentary projects like Labeled, Principles of Resistance: The Gordon Hirabayashi Story, and AMPIA Rosie Award-winning Calm Down This is Only the End: The Unfortunates Farewell Story, along with scripted shorts like Black and Blue and Smile: It’s Only the End of the World, to life. Each project is a testament to his dedication to addressing significant topics with depth and sensitivity.
In Labeled, Justin led the team in exploring critical social issues, including the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG) and the nuanced topic of sex work. The docuseries captures the realities and struggles of marginalized communities, reflecting Justin’s commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices and fostering awareness around issues that affect us all.
Meanwhile, The Gordon Hirabayashi Story sheds light on the inspiring legacy of a trailblazer in human rights and social justice, whose courage and resilience have shaped Edmonton’s history. This project is close to our hearts as it honors Hirabayashi’s contributions to human rights and his collaborations with Indigenous communities, aligning with our commitment to telling stories with cultural and historical significance.
As a company, we’re immensely proud of Justin’s dedication to his craft and his unwavering vision. His recognition in Edify’s Top 40 Under 40 is a powerful reminder that hard work and staying true to your creative principles can indeed make a difference.
