Justin Reese used to dream of being an independent filmmaker. Now, as a busy father, he sees himself as an independent film viewer. In his youth, he wrote, directed, and produced narrative and documentary short films before discovering his true calling as someone who doesn’t do that anymore. By day, he’s a technologist and case manager for a refugee resettlement organization, but by night, he’s asleep. He chaired the Tyler Film Festival in 2014 and 2015 and loves to see early work by promising creators.
