Justin Foia studied at the University of North Texas with famed post-modern artists and filmmakers Vernon Fisher and Ed Blackburn, concentrating on representational painting. Foia decided to apply the narrative approach, he had reserved for art, to the field of motion picture post-production and motion design. Shortly after graduation, he found himself working for a number of post-production companies, developing a strong ability to execute visual effects. Foia later moved to Seattle, WA, where he extended his film talents to commercial direction, shooting visually rich spots for Microsoft, Stride, Tolerance.org, and Agent Provocateur. Foia has directed two titles for Lexicon to date, Point Defiance and DOE, with several more in the upcoming pipeline. As Chief Creative Officer of Lexicon, Foia oversees all of its development and manages its creative properties.
