Reyshan Parker

WRITER/DIRECTOR/PRODUCER

Attending college for acting, Reyshan Parker soon discovered writing and completed his B.F.A. in playwriting, with a minor in Film at Ohio University in 2007. While studying under Charles Smith and Erik Ramsey, he wrote several plays, notably Risk, Best Intentions, and Strike: the musical, an Appalachian comedy, which won the Humble Play playwrights festival in 2007, and was produced by ARTWest theatre company in 2008. Also in 2007 Reyshan wrote, directed, and produced "Casual Fine Dining," a mocu-mentary about a small restaurant, followed by "Poor Crusader's," a documentary on the Appalachian economy, Disorder, a short about a PTSD soldier, and The Closet, a psychological thriller. Reyshan developed the concept for "Noir," prior to attending the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2009 and spent the next three years developing the complex story perspective. Reyshan studied producing under Andrew Meyer, Directing under Lubomir Kocka, and Screenwriting under Michael Nolan, David Engelbach, and Amy Lerner Maddox. Reyshan graduated with his MFA in writing and directing in 2012, and currently lives in Savannah, Georgia, where he is in pre- production for the feature film version of "Noir".

Reyshan currently resides in Savannah, GA where he is putting together, a what he calls, Independent Lasagna: The Independents Guide to the Feature… "keep it simple stupid". Which will be a free guide book and online graduate video lecture course on how to make feature films, basically for the cost of food… Needless to say there are a lot of layers.
