INMA DE REYES

I am a film director originally from Spain, based in Scotland, where I earned my Masters degree in Film Directing from the Edinburgh College of Art, where I have been guest lecturing since 2021. My debut feature, "The Boy and the Suit of Lights" (Aconite Productions, 2025), is a coming-of-age docuemtnary awarded by Chicken & Egg Pictures, premiered at Sheffield Doc/Fest and won the Best First Feature Grand Jury Award. I also premiered my first documentary short, "To Be a Torero," at Sheffield Doc/Fest in 2018, based on the same protagonist and family. My inaugural TV directing credit, "Isabel’s Independence," aired on BBC Scotland in August and is a 30-minute documentary about a Spanish immigrant in Edinburgh. In 2018, I participated in Interaction in Serbia where I directed "Osamdeset Dinara," and subsequently directed "Vivir Bailando" Bridging the Gap, produced by Noe Mendelle at the Scottish Documentary Institute, which premiered at EIFF 2019. As a filmmaker, I also freelance for various organisations and individuals throughout Scotland, handling filming, directing, and editing tasks, and I teach part-time at the Edinburgh College of Art while working with Media Education, a community enterprise in Edinburgh.
