John Reign

Filmmaker

POLESTAR founder, John Reign, has a rich history in the entertainment industry that spans four decades. A true veteran, his expertise lies both as a performer and an award-winning filmmaker. This skill set allows him to communicate efficiently and effectively to both his cast and crew.

For those Elvis fans out there, John first broke out under the MCA Records banner, as one of the very first Elvis impersonators, where he toured the west coast of the United States with the backing of a full band, singers, and dancers.

He was also one of the youngest magicians of the prestigious Magic Castle here in Los Angeles, California. He is an expert in close-up and stage magic and was a world-renowned escape artist performing nationwide for many years while designing illusions for Doug Henning. These skills also translate to the silver screen allowing him to be a cutting-edge filmmaker.

He has directed for FOX TV and PBS, all while promoting large-scale concert events with Azula Rocks and Nightlife Promotions.

In addition, John has directed and written dozens of feature films, TV productions, and children’s programming, such as Grimmet’s Magic Forest. Grimmet’s Magic Forest is based on the children’s book, What’s a Grimmet, authored by John.

A true pioneer, master model maker, and effects talent, John brings these skills and displays them on screen, making him a stand-alone in the low-cost magic of filmmaking and takes great pride and pleasure in entertaining his audiences domestically and abroad.
