Patrick Reis

Teaches at DCTV

Patrick's career can be traced back to the mid '90s independent film scene in New York City. He was lucky enough to secure a solid background in film before the digital video revolution exploded and began to dominate the indie market. The majority of his work is commercial but his love of storytelling has drawn him to more narrative projects. Patrick's clients include ESPN, Nickelodeon, Fox Sports, Canon USA, BETJ, and various independent production companies including Masterlink Films where he is a founding member. Patrick has shot with 16mm and 35mm cameras as well as myriad video cameras. Growing up in the Hudson Valley near Woodstock influenced the artist in him and now he travels across the United States and overseas for projects. Patrick enjoys the collaborative aspect of filmmaking and admires the filmmaker that can succeed when they test the system.
