Biography
In a quest for a lifetime of excitement and adventure Alison Reid pursued a career as a stunt performer. She landed her first stunt at the age of seventeen on The Littlest Hobo and went on to rack up over 300 film and TV stunt credits and became the second female stunt coordinator in North America. Being a stunt coordinator gave Alison the opportunity to work with numerous acclaimed actors, directors and cinematographers - many of whom played a significant role in her development as a director. Continuing on her path to be immersed in the creative process, Alison formed Free Spirit Films to make films diverse in genre but similar in their exploration of the human spirit. Under that banner she produced and directed her award winning debut feature film LGBTQ2+ comedy, The Baby Formula. Along with episodic television directing, Alison continues to work on her own passion projects.
