Justin Baldoni: Man Enough to Write this Book #Ep16

Tapping Creativity

Is there a single way to be a man? If you cannot jump off a 60ft bridge or run into a burning house, are you still a man enough? Where did we go wrong with our definition of masculinity?
On today's episode, Justin Baldoni discusses his creative process and motivation for writing his book 'Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity'.
Justin is an actor, writer, director, producer, speaker, and entrepreneur. He starred as "Rafael" on The CW's award-winning phenomenon, Jane the Virgin. Baldoni currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.

ABOUT ME
I started my career as an accidental filmmaker. I wrote a “practice script,” hoping one day I could write one that I could sell or produce. That script became my first film, “Senses of Place,” which went on to win awards on the film festival circuit and was distributed by FilmBuff.

I then moved to Hollywood where I eventually made nine feature films, eight documentaries, and worked with actors Carrie-Anne Moss, Melora Hardin , Zac Efron, Edi Gathegi and Angela Sarafyan in this year's Caged, and many more. I've worked with producers Kevin Costner, Bill Borden – Academy Award winner Francis Ford Coppola and Oscar-nominated director Mike Johnson. I have even shared the screen with Josh Brolin, Neil Patrick Harris, Kane Hodder, Naveen Andrews, and many more.

Last year, I released the documentary film, “Hardball: The Girls of Summer.” Currently, I live between California and East Africa, writing and developing new projects, while consulting on film and TV projects.
