Rusty Cundieff is a writer-director with extensive credits in film and television. He was thrilled to work on 57 Seconds as both director and co-writer and greatly enjoyed collaborating with actors Morgan Freeman and Josh Hutcherson as well as the rest of the film’s cast. Though a big fan of thriller’s and science-fiction this was his first opportunity to direct a film in those genres. Currently Rusty is editing a rom-com he directed early 2023 for Netflix.

Rusty is best known for directing Dave Chappelle on all three seasons of the hit Chappelle's Show, for Comedy Central. Rusty was fortunate to direct many iconic Chappelle show sketches including Blind Supremacy, where Dave’s character was a sightless black man who, not realizing he was black, hated black people. His time with Chappelle came to pass because Dave was a fan of two of Rusty’s feature films, Fear of A Black Hat and Tales From the Hood.

Fear of A Black Hat was Rusty’s first feature film effort. The mockumentary, in the tradition of Spinal Tap, followed a little known rap group on their American Tour. It premiered at Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival and was the first ever of the festival’s midnight films to sell out. The film received strong critical acclaim and is regarded by many as a cult classic and still appears in many festivals.

Next Rusty directed and co-wrote the horror anthology Tales From the Hood, executive produced by Rusty’s mentor, Spike Lee. Critics responded favorably to the film’s entertaining but socially relevant morality tales that pitted life’s real horrors with a supernaturally redemptive element. The film has a considerable following amongst woke horror fans. Rusty completed two follow-ups, Tales From the Hood 2 in 2018 and Tales From the Hood 3 each with Spike Lee returning as Executive Producer.

In 2017 Rusty served as Executive Producer on the live-action Adult Swim series Black Jesus, taking over show-running duties from series creator Aaron McGruder. Rusty both wrote and directed episodes, while overseeing all aspects of production.

Rusty taught for several years as a professor for the Guy Hanks and Marvin Miller screenwriting fellowship at USC, which focused on teaching screenwriting for both television and film to African-American students. Several of the fellowship’s students have gone on to do well within the industry, including two of Rusty’s students who, through his help and mentoring, went on to write a screenplay called White Water, the story of a young black boy's quest to drink from the “whites only” water fountain in Alabama 1963. Rusty helped the pair sell the screenplay, and ultimately directed the film which premiered at Disney’s El Capitan theater in Hollywood, debuted on TV One, and has enjoyed success in film festivals world-wide.

Rusty’s other directing credits include work with top comics and actors such as Terrence Howard in, Movie 43, Wanda Sykes on The Wanda Sykes Show, Aziz Ansari on Human Giants and Susan Sarandon on Chappelle’s Show. Before his career as a writer-director, Rusty worked as a stand-up comedian, performing at clubs across the country, and also as an actor, which included a role as a series regular on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, and roles in the films, Hollywood Shuffle and School Daze. Rusty is a graduate of University of Southern California.
