A graduate of Furman University in South Carolina, Kavis has called Edmonton home since 1995. Back then, he was a Defensive Back with the Edmonton Eskimos, a passionate supporter, and participant, of their ‘Stay In School’ program, with dreams of working in medicine. Enter forks in the road. He has worked with seven (7) CFL teams across the country, including the Edmonton Eskimos as Head Coach. His first introduction to EIFFS was as ‘Celebrity Guest’ at the festival’s 24/One Filmmaker Challenge in 2015. He threw down the sentence for filmmakers to incorporate in their films… “You can’t protect the corner route”. Kavis is excited to bring his business savvy to EIFFS. Favorite movie? A FEW GOOD MEN.
“This star-filled movie satisfied my appetite for military and legal action plots. The outcome was unexpected. Truly engaging from start to finish,” writes Kavis Reed.
