Ghost Train

At the midpoint of a satisfying career in graphic design, Martina Reese met filmmaking and fell in love--which derailed pretty much everything. And so, the one-time designer and soccer-mom emerged as a guerrilla filmmaker.
Since her 2010 debut shorts "Vicky Gets Dressed" and "One Boy" (starring her children and their friends), Ms. Reese has steadily expanded her body of work and fluency in the medium with sleeper hit shorts such as "The Swimmer" (2012); "Bathroom" (2016), "Move," "Pity," and "Trigger Point" (2017); and "Big Break," "Slow Me Down," and "Twins" (2018). Three new additions to the Reese catalog, "Floating Man," "The Librarians," and "Burn," were released in 2019. A super-busy summer of 2019 yielded a long-short anthology, titled "Four Short Films About America," composed of "The Jacksons," "First Date," "Ready To Go," and "Lucky."
Reese's first foray into feature-length filmmaking, "Exile," was cast in Spring 2020 and was scheduled to begin shooting in June. While the Covid-19 pandemic rages on, the production is on hold. In the meantime, please visit the Exile Facebook page @Exilemovie2020 to meet the stellar cast and production team that will bring the film to life when circumstances allow.
