Biography

Justin Benson (born June 9, 1983) is an American filmmaker who works with his filmmaking partner, Aaron Moorhead. Both have served in directing, producing, editing, and acting roles in their projects, while Moorhead is also a cinematographer and Benson is a writer. Justin Benson was born on June 9, 1983, in San Diego, California, United States. As a child, Benson was a fan of the Marvel Comics character Daredevil, which later informed his contributions to several Marvel television series, notably Daredevil: Born Again. Both he and Moorhead directed shorts and commercials early in their careers. In 2017, Benson and Moorhead, alongside their producing partner David Lawson Jr., founded the film production company Rustic Films. Their first film, the 2012 horror film Resolution, was screened at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. They described their partnership as purely collaborative and cast the lead actors after working with them on previous commercials they had worked on. Their follow-up, the 2014 romantic body horror film Spring, premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival. The film was publicly praised by both Richard Linklater and Guillermo del Toro. The pair's work can also be found in the horror anthology film V/H/S: Viral, in the segment entitled"Bonestorm."  Their film, The Endless, premiered in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2017 and was theatrically released in 2018 by Well Go USA Entertainment. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the duo created and starred in Something in the Dirt, which was shot in Benson's apartment due to restrictions on the film industry at the time. In television, Benson and Moorhead have contributed to multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe television series. After directing two episodes of Moon Knight, the duo were recruited as lead directors of the second season of Loki. After a significant creative reshuffle on Daredevil: Born Again, the two were hired to direct most of the episodes.
