Biography
Jason Reitman directed indie comedies into Oscar contention with Thank You for Smoking, Juno, and Up in the Air. Born October 19, 1977, the Canadian-American filmmaker has earned four Academy Award nominations, two for Best Director, plus a Golden Globe and Grammy. Reitman frequently collaborates with screenwriter Diablo Cody and director Gil Kenan, and is the son of director Ivan Reitman. His later work includes Young Adult (2011), Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021), and Saturday Night (2024). As a Libra, Reitman gravitates toward ensemble pieces and moral ambiguity—characters caught between competing loyalties, never fully redeemed. His screenwriting and directorial practice centres on dialogue-heavy narratives where dialogue *is* character, a precision craft. He grew up in the shadow of a Hollywood dynasty but carved his own taste: smaller budgets, younger casts, scripts that treat twentysomething indecision as philosophically serious.
