Movies by Justin Giddings

Justin Giddings is an up-and-coming filmmaker whose bold, unconventional style has earned him critical acclaim. With a keen eye for the absurd and a sharp satirical edge, Giddings crafts thought-provoking narratives that subvert audience expectations and shine a light on the hidden complexities of modern life. Giddings first made waves with his 2013 debut, This Is Normal, a darkly comedic exploration of the mundane struggles of everyday existence. Blending surreal humor with poignant social commentary, the film established Giddings' signature approach - one that deftly balances the profound and the profane, the whimsical and the unsettling. In the years since, he has continued to push the boundaries of independent cinema with a string of equally genre-defying works, including the 2020 shorts It's Okay, Oh, Sorry, and Outpost. What sets Giddings apart is his ability to find the extraordinary within the ordinary. His films often revolve around seemingly ordinary characters navigating the absurdities of the modern world, from the social anxieties of a first date to the existential quandaries of life in a remote outpost. Yet beneath the surface humor and quirky aesthetics lie deeper layers of meaning, as Giddings uses these narratives to comment on everything from mental health to the human condition. With a distinctive visual style and a knack for offbeat, yet relatable storytelling, Justin Giddings has emerged as a fresh and vital voice in independent cinema.
