Gigi Gustin is an actress, model, and award-winning producer born and raised in New Jersey. Gustin booked her first national commercial at the age of five. Known for her alluring on screen presence, her pixie stick voice and personality successfully landed her on the acclaimed FOX reality - competition show "John Cena's American Grit" - becoming its season two grand champion, where she won the cash prize of $250,000. As a result, this catapulted her to move to California where she hit the ground running starring in Amazon Prime mini series 'Bulge Bracket' and the adrenaline fueled action flick 'Fast and Fierce: Death Race' starring alongside DMX which aired on Showtime.

Gustin has continued to gain fame working alongside Oscar nominated actors in film and television, while simultaneously producing her own projects in order to cast herself and create her own opportunities. She produced, financed, and starred in the short film 'Nite Flirt' which led to the making of 'Night of the Missing', a horror anthology which was done in collaboration with Tremendum Pictures (The Gallows) which features Nite Flirt as one of it's most popular segments. 'Night of the Missing' is a Screambox Exclusive, and was released in theaters all over the world in 2023.

Early next year, we can expect to see Gustin starring alongside Colleen Camp in 'Stiletto', a film where she also serves as a writer, producer, and executive producer.

Gustin's upcoming titles also include 'LOVE ME DEAD' starring Dove Cameron, Breaking Bad's Rj Mitte, and Pia Mia, 'Winterset', 'Brute 1976', a horror homage to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, and 'If it Bleeds" which also stars Doug Jones, Dee Wallace, Khleo Thomas, Catherine Corcoran, and Krsy Fox.
