Reece Robinson is a film director specializing in character-driven documentaries about social issues, human capability, and ultra-endurance sports.
After spending the better part of his childhood making films for fun, Reece found his passion for telling stories that impact positive social change. On a 2017 trip to Nepal, Reece directed, filmed, and edited a documentary short about border conflict and severe human rights violations stemming from racism-provoked police brutality. He then screened the film in packed rooms across Nepal to raise awareness.
During the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic in New York City in the Spring of 2020, Reece worked as a field producer and cinematographer on The First Wave, an Emmy-winning National Geographic documentary. The film follows the patients and healthcare workers at a hospital in Queens and stands as a testament to the heroism and resiliency of the frontline medical professionals and their patients.
An avid rock climber, runner, and mountaineer, Reece combines his passions for storytelling and adventure with his work in the outdoor industry.
