 Us is a 2019 American horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele, starring Lupita Nyong'o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker. The film follows Adelaide Wilson (Nyong'o) and her family, who are attacked by a group of menacing doppelgängers. The project was announced in February 2018, and much of the cast joined in the following months. Peele produced the film alongside Jason Blum and Sean McKittrick (the trio previously having collaborated on Get Out and BlacKkKlansman), as well as Ian Cooper. Filming took place from July to October 2018 in California, mostly in Los Angeles, Pasadena and Santa Cruz. Us had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 8, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 22, 2019, by Universal Pictures. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing $255 million worldwide against a budget of $20 million, and received praise for Peele's screenplay and direction, as well as the musical score and Nyong'o's performance.  Caleb grew up all over the Midwest of the United States, but eventually settled on calling Saginaw, MI his home. His earliest memories are of watching movies ranging from Tim Burton’s Batman to Back to the Future; which some would consider to be a horror film (his mom wants to sleep with him – come on).
He spent his time in undergrad at Saginaw Valley State University where he study the craft of acting. He starred in over 20 productions there including Pippin, The Crucible, The Andrews Brothers, and One for the Pot. He also received the award for Outstanding Theatre Major during his senior year. Caleb decided to continue his theatrical education by attending grad school at Eastern Michigan University, where he received an MA in theatre performance. There he developed his love for teaching and furthered his love of movie watching. Caleb is currently an Adjunct Instructor at SVSU, where he teaches theatre to non-theatre majors and education majors. In 2017, Caleb decided to develop his own creative outlet that would fulfill his desire to perform and his desire to watch movies. So, he launched his YouTube channel called Caleb Watches Movies, where he randomly selects films that he owns from all genres and produces a review from the average person’s perceptive. It is a great mixture of humor, performance, realness, and honesty. The channel has seen tremendous growth in a short amount of time, and it is also Caleb’s catalyst to etch his legacy in a recorded medium. He currently resides in Kalamazoo, MI with his wife, cat-sons and cat-daughters. |
