Reggie Yates is an award-winning Writer / Director from London. With the 2021 theatrical release of his debut feature film Pirates, Yates achieved a long-held dream of sharing his version of London with the world. This BBC Film/BFI coming of-age comedy is a love letter to the UK Garage scene and a time capsule for 90’s London seen through the black lens. Acquired by Netflix, Pirates is now streaming and was officially selected at South By South West Film Festival. Since Reggie’s feature debut PIRATES he’s set up a feature in the States with Picture Start, he’s worked in a few writers’ rooms including the next Sony Spiderverse film and he’s writing and directing a feature with Nick Manzi’s new company. He also has a feature set up with Pulse.
