Justin Cordes
Filmmaker in New York
I've been a life-long personal growth junkie. I started psychotherapy when I was 17. I was a member of a mythopoetic themed men's group inspired by Robert Bly and his book Iron John. I've experimented with Core Energetics, Gestalt Therapy and Cuddle Parties. Nowadays my main practice is Circling and Authentic Relating as popularized by Decker Cunov and The Integral Center in Colorado. I'm part of the Circling Europe school which is a little less structured but provides more freedom of the full expression of our humanity wether it be words, sounds or movement.
In my work life I'm a professional TV editor. I started out at Grey Advertising in the dubbing room and quickly moved up to editing test commercials and branding films. I went on to work at other ad agencies until 2002 when I started working in news. For the last 13years I've been permalance at ABC News and edited segments for all the shows: Good Morning America, Nightline, 20/20 and World News Tonight. I've also produced/shot/edited short segments for personal clients.
