Phillip Reese
Director. Producer.
Storyteller. Based in Lisbon, shooting everywhere.
I specialize in visual storytelling that feels lived-in and real. My work spans the globe, from the gritty underbellies of international trade to the polished world of high-end commercial advertising.
I don't look for 'perfect' shots; I look for honest ones. By combining documentary instincts with cinematic discipline, I help brands and platforms tell stories that audiences actually feel. Founder of Mosaic Media House. Emmy Winner. Available worldwide.
