AARON REESE
VIDEO EDITOR & PRODUCER
About me
My Work
I am an award-winning filmmaker with a passion for crafting compelling stories across the entire spectrum of video production—from quick-turn social media content to feature-length documentaries. My work spans genres and formats, but I am especially drawn to stories that explore civil liberties and free expression. These projects offer not only the chance to illuminate complex legal and cultural issues, but also to dive deep into the lives of people at the heart of those controversies.
Storytelling
Working closely with attorneys and advocates, I’ve developed a unique skillset for visual storytelling that both informs and resonates. My aim is to humanize legal conflicts, showing how they impact individuals on a personal level—what drives them, what they risk, and what they stand to lose. I believe the most effective stories are those that invite empathy and reflection, and I strive to create videos that do just that.
Motivation
Whether I’m editing interviews, directing on location, or crafting motion graphics, I approach each project with curiosity, precision, and a deep respect for the subject matter. Ultimately, I see filmmaking as a powerful tool for advocacy—and I’m committed to using it to defend the principles of free speech and civil liberty.
