Director Biography - Justin Head

I’m a maverick South African filmmaker with a niche for writing and directing character-driven genre films, from action-thrillers to horror and suspense. My films are intense, visceral and gritty. My stories have explored a wide range of themes – such as the war against animal poaching, and the trafficking in human body parts, to clashes between mercenaries and warlords, and attacks on journalists by brutal dictatorships.
