Dean Reeves

From 2010-2012, Dean created the vast majority of the Cinematheque's original poster designs.

And given that his dream job is to one day design Key Art for the entertainment industry, we think we're pretty lucky to have him. (His portfolio also contains a particularly noteworthy work that we relunctantly had to pass on due to its risqué content.)
