Jean-Luc De Fanti

Jean-Luc De Fanti. The guy’s got a filmography that’s, honestly, all over the place in the best way. If you’re into wild, chaotic worlds, you probably clocked his work in "Borderlands" (2024). That movie is pure adrenaline—outlaws, wacky tech, a planet that’s basically a cosmic dumpster fire, and characters who are either trying to shoot, scam, or outwit each other… usually all three at once. De Fanti’s fingerprints are all over the chaos, making everything feel fresh, a little unhinged, and super fun to watch. Now, jump back a few years, and boom, he’s in "American Made" (2017). That one’s a wild ride through the ‘80s, with Tom Cruise doing his best charming rogue impression (honestly, the man does it better than anyone). It’s all about shady deals, smuggling, double-crosses—the kind of story where everyone’s got a secret and nobody’s really the good guy. De Fanti adds this clever edge to the whole thing, keeping the energy high and the drama sharp without losing the fun. Then there’s "I Am Mother" (2019), which is a total flip. Instead of chaos and crime, you get this slick, moody sci-fi thriller, way more about trust, survival, and what it means to be human—or not. There’s a robot mom, a bunker, and one big question: can you really trust the thing keeping you alive? De Fanti doesn’t shy away from the weird, the tense, the uncomfortable. He’s not afraid to make you squirm a little, and honestly? That’s what makes his stuff so memorable.
