I met Justin Connor at a meditation in L.A. several years ago. Justin is the writer, director, producer, and star of the award-winning film, "The Golden Age", a fictitious documentary about pop-star Maya O'Malley, who leaves the world of show business to set out on a spiritual pilgrimage through India in an attempt to resolve his troubled past
