Kim Reese is a Milwaukee-based filmmaker. Reese graduated from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a BFA in Film. In both her documentary and narrative works, representation and community lie as a through line in much of her work. Her pieces have been shown in a variety of spaces: Milwaukee Film Festival in Wisconsin, Nō Studios Film Showcase in Wisconsin, Door County Kinetic Arts Festival in Wisconsin, and the Power24 Film Festival in South Africa, among others. In her educational career, Reese was awarded a Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship to direct a series of films for the ACLU to focus on the carceral effects on pregnant individuals, and is a two-time recipient of the Lubar Scholars in Film Scholarship. Reese is looking forward to continuing her craft in the Midwest region.
