Justin Geldzahler is a writer and filmmaker based in the United States (of America).

He wrote, directed, and produced his first feature film, a dark comedy thriller called Glue Trap set for release later this year. Justin was also a consultant and contributing writer on the final season of HBO’s Succession.

His big sexy western The Quiet Kind was chosen for the GLAAD List and the Black List feature lab. He recently developed his animated comedy series Bears In Human Suits with the Almanack Screenwriters lab in Costa Rica. And he joined the WGA in 2023.

(Plus one time Justin wrote an allegedly mean tweet that Larry King was forced to read on Kimmel.)

He focuses on genre stories that double as dramedies about people struggling to connect. In addition to making tons of short films, he has researched for and contributed to Euphoria (HBO), Fosse/Verdon (FX), The Plot Against America (HBO), Respect (MGM), Outlander (Starz), and Fiddler on the Roof (MGM).
