KELLY REICHARDT (writer, director, producer) was born in Miami, Florida in 1964. Her father worked as a crime scene detective and her mother as a narcotics agent. Kelly first discovered photography through a crime scene camera, and her first marijuana cigarette from an unattended evidence bag. While studying film and video at the Museum School in Boston, she made a trilogy of super 8 road movies and some of the first S8mm music videos to air on MTV. She then moved to New York City, working as an art director on a number of low budget feature films. In 1991 Kelly returned to Miami to write and later direct RIVER OF GRASS, which went on to receive critical acclaim at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals. The film also received the Silver Palm Feature Film Award and the Pierre Kast Award for Best Screenplay at Valencia Film Festival. Kelly is currently at work on her next feature, "The Royal Court," which will be filmed in Miami.
