Meet Sha’quil Reeves Reeves: Actor , writer , director and producer.

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sha’quil Reeves Reeves and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sha’quil Reeves, what is the most important factor behind your success?
The most important factor behind my success would be my faith in God. I wouldn’t be who I am without Christ. I only say this because I didn’t have a desire to become an actor. Not only that, but I was in college for Track & Field so my plan was to go to the Olympics. But that all changed when acting kept pulling my heart. I wrote in my journal and I told God “okay, I’ll do this acting thing.” I said “hey look I don’t have a B plan, so this has to work out.”  Next thing you know I’m the lead role in my first play. Then I decided to really lean on my faith. After I finished my play I auditioned for Drama School and I got accepted. I never in a million years thought I would be in Los Angeles, California. Well in 2016 I arrived, and I never looked back. I can say God has blessed me tremendously! I have been working ever since I started whether it’s in a Play, short film, web series, etc. During the pandemic, God really challenged me to write. So I was obedient. In 2020, I put out 4 short films where I’m the writer, director, producer and Actor. I recently won “Best short film” at Hollywood Art & Movie Awards 2021. I’m very blessed to say I’ll be dropping another 4 this year in 2021. My secret is trusting God.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m really proud of the fact that, I create my own content. Being able to write and direct my own films has helped me a become an actor. It’s weird but in a good way. I feel more present within myself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
My favorite spot is the beach I just love walking on the beach. It gives me a peace of mind. If my best friend was to visit I’ll take on a hike only because you really get a chance to see how big And beautiful is. Then I’ll take her to this Greek restaurant called Rodini Park it’s some of the best food in town.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shoutout to my friends and family from Kansas City Missouri. I love y’all
