Who is Ari Aster?
Ari Aster made a name for himself thanks to his A24 horror films, Hereditary and Midsommar. The former is the third highest-grossing film in the company's history. Recent films like Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once and another horror film, Talk to Me, have since dethroned it.
His latest film, Beau Is Afraid, was his most ambitious to date. It had a budget of $35 million and made a little under $12 million at the box office. Joaquin Phoenix starred with Patti LuPone, Amy Ryan, and Nathan Lane.
