About The Director
Award-winning filmmaker Eli Roth most recently wrapped production on the highly anticipated BORDERLANDS, starring Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Jamie Lee Curtis, which will be released by Lionsgate in 2022. Roth made his directorial debut in 2002 with the hugely successful film CABIN FEVER; his follow up titles, which include HOSTEL, HOSTEL PART II, KNOCK KNOCK and DEATH WISH, have earned him critical praise and a reputation as a true innovator in the horror space. In front of the camera Roth is best known for appearing as Sgt. Donnie Donowitz, the bat-swinging "Bear Jew," in Quentin Tarantino’s epic INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, for which he won a Screen Actors Guild award, and Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF.
Roth successfully pivoted to family fare, hosting Discovery Channel’s popular “Shark Week” and its late-night talk show Shark after Dark and directing 2018’s fantasy-comedy THE HOUSE WITH THE CLOCK IN ITS WALLS starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett. He also hosts and produces the tremendously successful AMC series Eli Roth’s History of Horror, which was just renewed for its third season.
FIN is Roth’s first documentary, a passion project he has spent the past five years making, after becoming aware of the plight during his time hosting “Shark Week.” Roth works with several animal charity organizations, including PETA, where he has been an outspoken public figure against animal abuse.
