Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, England in 1977 Richard Reay began writing
and directing in 1996 while working as a professional actor in his home
town before moving to London to continue his own studies. After
attending the renowned Central School of Speech and Drama he toured, as
an actor, with the Triskellion Theatre Company as the lead in John
Millington Synge's "Rider's to the Sea" throughout London. On his
return to Newcastle he co-founded Freestyle Film Productions and began
to develop short projects, both dramatic and corporate and became a
founder member of the FNA Films group and co-produced the short film
"Making Tea for the Mob" with Zahra Zommorodian followed closely by "A
Blank Slate" in which he also played the lead role. Recently Richard
has joined forces with UK/Czech production company UltraSonik Pictures,
who produced the long in development Roulette (2004), which Richard both wrote
and directed. The film is currently in submission at festivals across
the world. Now firmly established in the North-East Film industry
Richard mentors new filmmakers in a variety of disciplines, while still
working on his own projects as a writer/director and occasionally
producing or acting.
