Reese Peng is an experimental filmmaker and visual artist based between Taipei and New York. They form a one person film crew managing all aspects of production and post-production. Their feature projects explore the nature of being and time through varied forms. Each work incorporates some element of poetic fiction integrated with documentation of micro-cultural contexts using spiritual slow-cinema techniques. From collective delirium on a student organic farm in Northfield, Minnesota, to the quiet hospice caretaking of a yellow Labrador in a melancholic Taipei apartment, Reese’s works display a kaleidoscope of experiential specificity. Moving between environments illuminates the ways in which context holds emotion, and how our memory and sense of being shift through occupying different spaces. A lover of slow cinema, Reese induces an awareness of the sensation of time passing. All in the name of magic and majesty ~ of the frame, of the way things are, and the way things happen. To the infinence of moments!
Reese grew up in Taipei, Taiwan and graduated with a BA in Cinema and Media Studies at Carleton College. They are a young educator having worked in high schools in Taipei and presently in NYC public schools.
Previously, they guest lectured at their alma mater Carleton College in 2022. Their work has screened in various experimental venues, and most recently at Millennium Film Workshop.
