Lin's first feature film was Shopping for Fangs (1997), which he co-directed with fellow UCLA Film School alumnus Quentin Lee when they were still at UCLA. The film stars John Cho and is considered to be a "cult classic" among independent Asian American films.{{cite web | publication-date=June 4–10, 1998 | url=http://www.metroactive.com/papers/metro/06.04.98/shopping-fangs-9822.html | title=When The Moon Is Full, Lycanthropy is a metaphor for assimilation in 'Shopping for Fangs' | work=Metroactive | last=von Busack | first=Richard}}

Lin wrote and directed a documentary, Crossover (2000), which focused on the 70-year-old phenomenon of the Japanese American Basketball Leagues, which were established in the 1930s.{{Cite web|url=http://www.asianamericanfilm.com/archives/000046.html|title="Crossover" - directed by Justin Lin, Asian American Film Reviews|access-date=September 15, 2017|archive-date=June 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130606115300/http://www.asianamericanfilm.com/archives/000046.html|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|title=Media Arts | Japanese American National Museum|url=http://www.janm.org/mediaarts/productions/crossover/|website=www.janm.org|access-date=September 15, 2017|archive-date=September 16, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170916053140/http://www.janm.org/mediaarts/productions/crossover/|url-status=dead}}

Lin's solo directorial debut was Better Luck Tomorrow (2002), a film focusing on a circle of high-school-age Asian-Americans who become caught up in a cascading series of petty and then serious crimes.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9B03E0D6163BF932A25757C0A9659C8B63?|title=FILM REVIEW; Teenagers Determined to Damage Their Resumes|first=Elvis|last=Mitchell|work=The New York Times|date=November 24, 2022 }} The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival of that year, and in a question and answer session following a festival screening, Roger Ebert stood up and angrily responded to an audience member asking Lin if he thought it irresponsible to portray Asian-Americans in a negative light, saying, "[N]obody would say to a bunch of white filmmakers, 'How could you do this to your people?' ... Asian-American characters have the right to be whoever the hell they want to be. They do not have to 'represent' their people."{{cite web | url=http://www.upworthy.com/he-trashed-hundreds-of-films-in-his-career-but-13-years-ago-he-angrily-stood-up-for-one | title=He Trashed Hundreds Of Films In His Career.

Lin's second feature film—and first film to be produced and distributed by a large studio, Touchstone Pictures—was Annapolis (2006), which starred James Franco, Tyrese Gibson, Donnie Wahlberg and Jordana Brewster. The film cost US$26 million to make, but grossed only $17 million worldwide.{{Cite web |title=Annapolis |url=https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl776111617/ |access-date=2024-08-06 |website=Box Office Mojo}}

Lin was initially approached to direct the film after the success of Better Luck Tomorrow at Sundance, and after wrapping his first studio film Annapolis, but wanted some "conditions" met, as the script presented him was about "cars drifting around Buddhist statues and geisha girls."{{cite news | url=https://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2013/05/24/186169488/Director-Lin-Shifts-The-Identity-Of-Fast-Furious | title=Director Justin Lin Shifts The Identity Of 'Fast & Furious' | publisher=National Public Radio | date=May 24, 2013 | author= NPR Staff}}{{cite news | url=https://variety.com/2013/film/features/justin-lin-1200409626/ | title=Justin Lin: 'Furious' Filmmaker Finds Even Better Luck Tomorrow | date=May 1, 2013 | access-date=May 28, 2013 | last=Foundas | first=Scott | newspaper=Variety}} Instead, Lin wanted to make a film about Japan, which was "much more postmodern," as he mentioned, and intended to have a film on a more global scale that went against preconceived stereotypes.

After Tokyo Drift, Lin directed a short film that also premiered at the Sundance Global Short Film Project, La Revolución de Iguodala! (2007), about one individual's message as that individual travels through time and becomes embodied in different races.{{Cite web |title="La Revolución de Iguodala!"
