Available to hire
I’m Michael Reider, a video producer and editor based in Montreal. I create content for film, television, web series, corporate and private events, with hands-on experience in writing, directing, coordinating, and leading production teams. I’m a movie buff who sees films as both entertainment and education, always aiming to learn something new from what I watch.
One of my defining strengths is clear, proactive communication with clients and team members, ensuring tasks are understood and goals are achieved. I especially enjoy comedy, narrative-driven pieces, and fast-paced, short-form videos.
