Douglas Reese is an accomplished and innovative independent filmmaker and actor, currently residing in Cincinnati, Ohio. Notably, he has garnered a modest level of recognition for his work as a pioneering figure in the realm of "no-budget" filmmaking. With an unwavering dedication to his craft, Reese has made the bold decision to release his features and shorts on social media platforms, eschewing financial gain in favor of artistic expression.
Since 2008, Reese has released an impressive array of nearly fifty short films and twenty feature-length productions, each one showcasing his unique perspective and creative vision. While some of his work has elicited strongly divided opinions from both critics and viral audiences, many have hailed Reese as a visionary "amateur auteur", whose unorthodox approach to filmmaking has yielded a distinctive and captivating body of work.
