Principal country concerned : Column : Cinema/tv

Jillian Reeves began her entertainment career as an Actress in the Chicago theater scene. It was also there she got her first taste of directing in the local theater. Since moving to Los Angeles to continue her acting career she has graced the screen as the Lead in TVOne's Media, recurring roles on Young and the Restless and  CSI:Miami, guest spots on top shows including Grey's Anatomy, Masters of Sex, Game of Silence and dozens of national commercials. In addition to acting, Jillian regularly coaches actors for auditions & self-tapes, has co-directed an award-winning short she wrote "Hope Reigns" and is a passionate advocate for being a voice of the underserved in our community.

Jillian found that these activities served her well as she made her directing debut with the short film Broken, which she penned to highlight the barriers families face in getting help for loved ones with untreated mental illness. She was able to create a visually moving story, draw amazing performances from the actors and create a sense of community on set for the cast and crew. In directing she found the space where she could truly utilize her multitude of skills and found a career match made in heaven. After spending over a decade as a performer she is now shifting much of her focus to directing and creating content.
