About Us
Jamie Courville (Director, Producer, Editor) and Chris Reynolds (Director, Producer, Cinematographer) are a Brooklyn-based wife and husband team that has collaborated creatively since meeting on a film set in Dallas in 2000. They each have over twenty years of filmmaking experience, learning the craft from the ground up working as crew members on projects large and small. This is the first feature documentary they are making together.
Jamie’s career has included doing continuity for Muppets, editing video art, working in post for documentaries, and founding a video collective. Her audio portraits have appeared on public radio stations, both broadcast across the US and on web-based platforms. Her work examines perceptions of disease, race, gender and class. Other recent projects include The Great Pandemics Archive collection of paper ephemera recently acquired by the New York Public Library, the short experimental documentary “Kuleshov in 2020”, and a series of media art installations contemplating the changing landscape of Gowanus.
Chris has worked extensively in both independent and studio film production. Climbing his way up in the camera department from Loader to Cinematographer, he has worked for a long list of talented filmmakers, learning from eminent directors like Ang Lee, Alfonso Cuaròn and David O. Russell. His work can be seen in such acclaimed projects asSilver Linings Playbook, Into the Wild, and Orange Is the New Black. He was Producer and Cinematographer on Courville’s “Kuleshov in 2020” and with her co-created the Gowanus-themed media art installations “Drift,” "Reflection," "Torrent," and "Grotto."
