We have video from the Maui Film Festival! 😀 I edited it all together to make just one clip but it includes:
– Justin’s small intro at the screening of “The Happiest Man Alive”
– sit down interview (talks about a range of topics such as the festival, the short film and how it came about, what Justin plans on doing with his kids in Maui, returning to work in 3 weeks for the next season of Grey’s Anatomy)
– Director Andrew Goodman saying what Justin brought to his short film.

A mention of Justin and also a brief interview with him by Marc Malkin at E! during the Maui Film Festival.

Byrd hit the screening of Norman at the Celestial Cinema outdoor theater with the movie’s director Jonathan Segal. Earlier, they enjoyed dinner at Gannon’s restaurant with a group that included Zac Efron, director Kenny Ortega and Justin Chambers, who was in town for the premiere of director Andrew Goodman’s short, The Happiest Man Alive.

Katherine Heigl may be gone from Grey’s Anatomy, but she’s certainly not forgotten.

“I miss her all the time,” Justin Chambers told me at the Maui Film Festival. “She’s such a great actor. She’s so fun to work off of. I miss working with her.”

But that doesn’t mean, we’ve heard the last of their onscreen romance…

As fans of the show know, Alex (Chambers) called out for Izzie (Heigl) when he was shot in the abdomen during the season finale.

“I think that’s a couple on television that people will always remember,” Chambers said. “There’s not much Alex without her. I think he’ll be mourning Izzie for the next two seasons.”

Chambers also defended Heigl against her critics. “She admits that she has a mouth on her, but she’s got a heart much bigger than her mouth,” he said. “It’s so unfair because I think people have taken her the wrong way. She’s actually a good person. She’s very funny and very kind.”

Chambers was in Maui for the premiere of The Happiest Man Alive, a short in which he stars as a not-so-happy office worker. He signed onto the project after meeting director Andrew Goodman at the film fest last year. “Andrew was talking about how he wanted to make a short and I said, ‘Dude, I’ll make a short with you,'” Chambers said. “And we shook hands and we made it.”

We are lucky. 😉 Justin showed up at the premiere of his short film ‘The Happiest Man Alive’ at the 2010 Maui Film Festival. The man posing with Justin in the portrait pics is the director of the short, Andrew Goodman. Also in the pics: the screenwriters of the short Aaron and Jordan Kandell, Maui Film Festival director Barry Rivers and actor Zac Efron.

I’m going to try and find video of Justin introducing the film but no promises. For now enjoy the pics. He really loves that hat, doesn’t he? 😆

First, a bunch of Justin mentions in the media.

With Father’s Day on Sunday, TV Guide Canada put together a list of TV’s hottest real-life dads. Justin is one of them and the list can be seen here –> TV’s Hottest Dads

There are also a few articles from TV critics about the Emmy award nominations where they praise Justin’s work last season but leave him out of their hypothetical Emmy ballot. 😆

Tonight is the screening of Justin’s short film (‘The Happiest Man Alive’) at the Maui Film Festival and he is scheduled to be there. If we’re lucky (I think we will be) we’ll get some new pics, if we’re really lucky we’ll get some video too. Check back tomorrow. 😉

Oh, and a recent pic of Justin at a store in LA (click on the pic to enlarge):

“justin chambers came to the pop up store. Fox.”

Hey guys! So here’s the thing, remember back in April when TV Guide said the following about Justin:

Turning the big 4-0 in July, he plans to spend his hiatus in Los Angeles starring in a movie opposite Chyler, who’s also producing the indie thriller with her husband, Nathan West.

Well, TV Guide got it right and wrong. Over the weekend this is what I was told from a reliable source:

• Chyler Leigh will not be starring in the indie thriller with Justin. However, Chyler’s husband, Nathan West is one of the producers.
• The project is still being financed but they’re hoping to shoot this summer if Justin’s schedule allows.

Fingers crossed everything works out in such a way that the inevitable overlap between the movie and Grey’s Anatomy isn’t a problem and Justin can do both. 😀

A few casting directors were asked who they think is deserving of an Emmy award nomination this year. Jen Levy has Justin on her list. 8)

Great casting directors know great acting. So, while CDs may not be Emmy voters, Back Stage asked several of them who they think should be recognized this year.

[…]

“I think that if Katey Sagal does not get nominated for her work on ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ there is a serious problem in this industry. There is no one else I can see in that part. She is it; she owns that through her bones. I also think Justin Chambers has done the best work of his career this season on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ He brought so much nuance and depth to a character we already knew and loved.“

—Jen Levy (“The Go-Getter,” the upcoming “Joint Body”)

Yesterday, Justin attended the launch event for The California Spay and Neuter License Plate Fund at the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter. I added 13 pics from the event to the gallery. Check it out:
