Justin G. Dyck is a Canadian film director. He began his career in the early 2010s.
After directing several made-for-TV films, mostly family-friendly Christmas-themed films,[1] Dyck attracted considerable attention for directing the 2020 Canadian supernatural horror film Anything for Jackson.[2]
Starring Sheila McCarthy and Julian Richings, Anything for Jackson debuted at the Fantasia Film Festival in September 2020,[3] before being released on Shudder the following December.[4] The film received positive reviews from film critics.[5][6][7][8]
For his work on Anything for Jackson, Dyck was nominated for the award for Best Director at the 2021 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards,[9] but ultimately lost to Leigh Whannell for The Invisible Man.[10]
