Reggie Yates is a Writer and Director from London known for PIRATES (2021).
With the 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. Recently acquired by NETFLIX, PIRATES is now streaming and officially selected at South By South West Film Festival .
Three decades in, Reggie's career began as a child actor. This led to a decade of bouncing from national radio host to actor and eventually fronting Saturday night prime time TV. A pivot into documentary making changed things for good as authentic storytelling became a priority.
In the last decade, Reggie has become synonymous with critically acclaimed documentaries. His films include the BBC Extreme series including Reggie Yates: Extreme Russia, Extreme South Africa and Extreme UK which are all available to a worldwide audience on Netflix. Reggie was awarded Best Presenter for the critically acclaimed Extreme Russia at the Royal Television Society Awards, Best Factual Programme at the Edinburgh TV Festival, and Best Multi-channel Programme at the Broadcast Awards.
