Biography
Josh Safdie is an American filmmaker best known for the crime thrillers Good Time (2017) and Uncut Gems (2019), both co-written and co-directed with his younger brother Benny. The two operated as the Safdie brothers until 2024, when they announced plans to pursue separate directorial careers. Safdie's first solo feature since the split, Marty Supreme, premiered on December 25, 2025, and immediately established him as an independent force—the film earned four Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. His solo directorial debut actually came much earlier with The Pleasure of Being Robbed (2008), making Marty Supreme his first feature-length solo return to the director's chair in over a decade. As a screenwriter and filmmaker born in 1984, Safdie works across both roles to shape narratives from conception to screen. He holds US citizenship and has built his career in American independent cinema. Born under Aries, he channels the sign's driven, pioneering energy into filmmaking that pushes genre boundaries [F1, enrichments]. His life-path number 11 suggests the intuitive, visionary traits often associated with creative breakthroughs and artistic reinvention—a pattern visible in his evolution from collective to solo work [birth, enrichments].
