Director Jonathan Eusebio Signs With Independent Artist Group

EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan Eusebio, the stunt coordinator and second unit director who made his feature directorial debut with the recent Universal action comedy Love Hurts, has signed with Independent Artist Group.

Starring Academy Award winners Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose, Love Hurts follows Marvin Gable (Quan), a mild-mannered Milwaukee realtor whose former life as an assassin resurfaces when his presumed-dead ex-partner, Rose (DeBose), returns — putting him back in the crosshairs of his criminal brother.

The film, from David Leitch and Kelly McCormick’s 87North Productions, was released last February.

Prior to making the leap to directing, Eusebio spent more than two decades helping shape the language of modern action filmmaking, drawing on a lifetime of martial arts training. A founding member of 87Eleven Action Design, his credits as a second unit director include Deadpool 2, Birds of Prey, Violent Night and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while his stunt and fight coordination work includes Black Panther, John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum, The Fate of the Furious, The Fall Guy, The Matrix Resurrections, Doctor Strange, The Avengers and the original John Wick.
