Put some people around you that can give you some nice wisdom... Become skilled at your craft, screenwriting, cinematography, whatever. What I see too often is passion for ministry or passion to tell a story trumps the time it takes to really make it ready for production and compete in the marketplace.” -Trey Reynolds  About Trey Reynolds As VP of Development and Production, Trey Reynolds leads the Provident Films team to produce, market and distribute faith and family films.  Provident Films is a business unit of SONY Music Entertainment.  For over 20 years, Trey has worked in the film industry for small start-ups to large corporate businesses.  After starting as a video editor with CBN, Trey ran a full-service video production company in Memphis, TN for 10 years where he directed over 15 feature documentaries and produced creative content for global brands such as FEDEX, COCA-COLA, CBS and ESPN.  Since 2015, Trey has worked exclusively on theatrical faith and family films such as WAR ROOM, WOODLAWN, INDIVISIBLE and OVERCOMER.  Most recently, Trey produced the Netflix Original, BLUE MIRACLE, starring Dennis Quaid which debuted in May 2021 as the #2 movie in the world.  Trey and Provident Films most recent release is a family comedy called FAMILY CAMP, with theatrical distribution provided by Roadside Attractions, Spring 2022.
