Director Biography

Ariel Reyes

I’m a young filmmaker from the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Since moving into the city, I’ve discovered a new world of creatives and it makes me genuinely excited to progress in this world of film and storytelling. I feel a new sense of passion every time I work on a new project or direct a new film with a team of like minded people. That’s really it. Each film I’ve made has been a bit better than the last, and that’s all I’m really striving for.
