SHORT BIO

Writing is life and life is writing!

I have been blessed to be able to part of teams to see my
vision and the visions of others come to life. With a vision
to create I borrowed cameras to finish my projects until I
was able to get a big break with a role in a commercial that
aired at the world series, even-though I am from
Canada. It was surreal because it helped me
buy my first camera, no more signing cameras out. I took a
trip to LA to train with Creative Writing and Pilar and
other trainers of writers LA. And it became one of many I
shot a short promo for one of my sci-fi shorts. I have been
determined to go every summer and fall for 4-5 years of
training in person with those that make films and TV.
I have seen from William Goldberg to
writers from PIRATES of the CARIBBEAN.  

Volunteering for short films and working for features at
production offices have helped me get better with over 1000+
hours experience. It has helped me learn more on writing; how to
produce, how to direct better and even edit some of my
projects. I like being a self-starter while waiting on my writing. I was
able to take ideas and produce them quickly. And that has lead me to
shooting over 20 short documentaries and 4 features. Two of my biggest
influences recently would be DON'T BREATH and GET OUT for
breaking new ground in filmmaking. As a filmmaker and writer
of color this is important to always be telling stories from new points
of view.

But collaborating with others is the only way to get things
done. I have shared in 15+ awards from documentaries to
Blockbusters in India- KAL HO NAA HO and being an actor for
THE WALKING DEAD in Asia.

Even from here in Asia, I have been able to have over 70K
views of projects I have shot, edit or collaborated with on social media.
There is always more to do, shoot and learn.

While in Asia, I have been able to keep creative, making a
network and doing my best to bring visions to the page and on
the screen where possible. If I was blessed to be part of
this program I would work just as hard only I would have the means and
to do so on a professional level.

Thank you,

Ron Reid Jr.
