About

I am Kaisan Rei. I am a creator.

In my pursuit of mastery of the craft of filmmaking I graduated Brooklyn College with a BA in Film Production in 2013. In June 2016, I graduated from the American Film Institute Conservatory with my MFA in Directing. My thesis film, THE FIRST STONE, is currently on the film festival circuit and has screened at numerous festivals including the American Black Film Festival, Pan-African Film Festival, and Martha's Vineyard African American Film Festival.

Through my work as a filmmaker I am out to empower people by telling the universal stories of my community that go untold on the silver screen. I celebrate the majesty of individuality while emphasizing our interdependence.  

Film is a powerful medium. But fear not... I use my powers for good.
