Reid Davenport Biography

Reid Davenport makes documentaries about disability from an overtly political perspective.

Reid’s first two feature films, "Life After" (2025) and "I Didn’t See You There" (2022), both premiered to acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, where "Life After" received a Special Jury Award and "I Didn’t See You There" earned the Directing Award. "Life After" is set to air on PBS’s syndicated series "Independent Lens" later this year and currently holds a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

"I Didn’t See You There" went on to win the Truer Than Fiction Award at the 2023 Independent Spirit Awards, in addition to a Best Documentary nomination at the 2022 Gotham Awards. The film also reached national audiences through a PBS broadcast on "POV."

In 2020, Davenport was named to DOC NYC’s “40 Filmmakers Under 40.” His short film, "A Cerebral Game," won the Artistic Vision Award at the 2016 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival for “creating a visual landscape that is at once disorienting and nostalgic - and the result is so raw and compelling it’s impossible to turn away.” Along with "A Cerebral Game," his short documentaries "Wheelchair Diaries" and "RAMPED UP" are distributed by New Day Films. His work has been supported by The Ford Foundation, Sundance Institute, Creative Capital, ITVS, NBCUniversal, CNN and the Points North Institute, among others.

Davenport was a 2017 TED Fellow and gave a TED Talk about incorporating his own literal body into his filmmaking. His work has been featured by outlets like The New York Times, The New Yorker, NPR, PBS, The Washington Post, MSNBC, and The Chronicle of Higher Education. Davenport received a Master of Fine Arts in Documentary Film & Video from Stanford University, and a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication from The George Washington University.
