Michael Reeves

Michael Reeves was born in 1943 into a well-off family, turned up at the door of an American filmmaker in Los Angeles at the age of sixteen and got a job as an assistant from him. He then made three feature films in three years, all low-budget and all with the same actor, Ian Ogilvy, in the sixties. He had other projects when he died in February 1969, aged twenty-five, from an overdose of sleeping pills; the death was ruled accidental.
