Justin Ishmael has experienced many different artistic paths throughout his life, and his most recent journey led him to the current role of creative director for Mondo, a family company of Alamo Drafthouse. Justin's passion and desire to connect the fine art world with film franchises has helped catapult Mondo to become a leading company for high-level, collectible art.

Among one of an array of fascinating topics, Justin and I chat a bit about Mondo's massive transformation from small beginnings and its significant impact on collectors, artists, collaborators, and the film culture overall.
