Boman Reid
Director, Artist, and Actor in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
In an attempt to describe me, those close to me would most likely depend on one word - dramatic.
I am an entertainer. For as long as I can remember I have had a camera in my hands. I filmed Christmas’, Birthdays, family vacations and any other events that I could get my hands on.
Whether it’s playing Brutus in Julius Caesar, Dancing as Seaweed in hairspray, filming my travels to Japan, or directing a sketch for Youtube, I love to tell stories. I believe that everyone has a story and the more tales we share as creators, the less troubling life becomes.
I am most passionate about one particular story I have told. On the cusp of 18 - days before my birthday - I had told my family that I ‘wanted my own show’ to which my brother replied: “Why don’t you just make your own show.” Thus Reid it and Weep was born.
Reid it and Weep is my very own reality show that is centered around my friends and me. Although it is more of an ‘augmented’ reality series, (Much of the storylines have to be enhanced to captivate viewers) viewers really do watch me surprising my friends, give speeches at important milestones, and enjoy family vacations. There's no script, just a bunch of dramatic kids and a camera.
I am a learner. I love to enhance my craft and I one day hope to see my content viewed by masses of people.
I dream I think, and I create.
Just like my mother always says to me in Spanish:
