ABOUT REDA FILMS
For more than 50 years, Lou Reda Productions has been honored to provide a voice through television and film.
In the 1970s, Lou Reda, a decorated World War II veteran turned television producer, started Lou Reda Productions after seeing a need and opportunity in television to create historical documentaries through a fresh lens that would examine and bring to light the issues of the day. The company was propelled to the national stage when Reda produced the first syndicated television series for Viacom, and later, the acclaimed CBS scripted miniseries “The Blue and the Gray.”
Nearly five decades later, Lou Reda Productions’ humble beginnings have led to over 600 hours of programming for domestic and international networks and the amassing of the largest privately-owned film archive – Reda Archives, LLC – in the United States.
The company has received immense praise and numerous awards from the industry, including a People’s Choice Award, Peabody Award, and Primetime Emmy Award (including nine nominations).
Now known as Reda Films, the company continues to produce groundbreaking archival non-fiction programs, while growing and developing projects across multiple genres for both linear and streaming platforms. As the industry has changed and grown, Reda Films has grown with it. With an office in New York City and studios in Easton, PA, the company is expanding its development slate to topics such as food, adventure, true crime, and beyond.
Reda Films has one mandate when developing new concepts: to tell meaningful, powerful stories and provide a voice to the underrepresented.
