Robert S. Pearson

Like a lot of us who grew up dreaming of the day we could be on set full time, I first started making short films with my friends as a teen, before studying filmmaking in college. I came out of film school with an understanding of the fundamentals of our industry, but it took nearly a decade for me to receive a true education in what the film and television business actually is.
‍
I felt incredibly fortunate to have been in the position I was in when I began the transition from assistant directing to line producing and owning a business. Although the responsibility has come with many sleepless nights, operating Reel Digital has afforded me a say in how the productions I oversee are produced, and it is my goal to consistently cultivate creative environments that all members of the crew can feel comfortable in and excited to be a part of.
‍
I'm deeply grateful to the producers, agencies, and clients who have continued to trust me and the rest of the Reel Digital team with their budgets and vision. As long as there is a Reel Digital, there is hope that production management can one day be the safest, most relaxed, and highly efficient form of collaboration achievable.
