Trey Edward Shults

Shults is, to me, the real thing. The Houstonian announced himself with Krisha, a micro-budget film shot with his own family, and then refused to coast. The strangled dread of It Comes at Night and the wrenching collapse of a family in Waves both reach past mere genre thrills toward something rawly human. As a director who also writes, produces, and edits, he embodies the all-in auteur whose fingerprints give a film its soul. With Hurry Up Tomorrow arriving in 2025, I keep finding myself impatient for whatever he does next. Few young American filmmakers excite my curiosity as consistently as he does.
