Carving Your Style into the World of Independent Filmmaking with Kris Rey

Kris Rey (@kriseykrisrey) is known for her improv-heavy, run-and-gun indie films that have established her as one of the most unique modern filmmakers to watch today. Brought up in the state of Illinois, Rey began her career studying documentary filmmaking, which gave her an eye for naturalistic performances and grounded narratives that now saturate her films. In this episode, she breaks down her inspiration for creating her upcoming feature I Used to Go Here; the effect of COVID-19 on releasing her film that was set to debut at SXSW; the unexpected benefits to not living in LA or NY as a filmmaker; and more!

Kris’s collaborations with BondIt and Buffalo 8 include the Buffalo 8 Post Production and BondIt financed and Executive Produced film I Used to Go Here (2020).
