Lynda Riess entire career has been a 25 year master class in prep, production, finding rapid solutions to last minute requests and most importantly how to remain calm when the crap hits the fan. As a Property Master she was on set behind the camera for years, working with every department, developing character with actors, back story with directors, and adding texture and layering with Costume and Production design. She know who does what and what is possible.
She took this expereince and made two award winning short films. The first one, technically, was an exploration into visual detail, cinematography and timing. Story wise it was exciting to be able to delve into the darker themes and find a way to make a story about death, age and loneliness entertaining. She made audiences laugh cry and jump all in nine minutes. This short got her into the Sony Pictures Diverse Directors Program, and was also Oscar eligible in 2019. The second short was made to show she could direct television drama. More characters, larger in scope.
Lynda would be bringing her years of experience working on shows like True Detective, Stranger Things. She has done stuff, been places and seen things…..all this means she has a unique rich deep pool of life knowledge that she will bring to projects she will direct.
Born in New York, raised in the UK she have the accent of one and the attitude of the other. If you need a director with a lifetime of production experience, or just someone fun to be on set with in the rain at 3am, then please reach out to her.
