Kelly Reichardt was born and raised in Miami-Dade Country, Florida, to a family of police officers. She had an interest in photography from a very young age. She started by using her father's camera, which he used for photographing crime scenes. She went to the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. In the summer of 2005, Reichardt directed Old Joy (2006), which premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. It was the first American film to win the Tiger award at the Rotterdam Film Festival and opened at the Film Forum in New York City. Reichardt's first feature, River of Grass (1994), a sun-drenched noir that was shot in her home town of Dade County, was cited as one of the best films of 1995 by the Boston Globe, Village Voice, Film Comment, the New York Daily News, Paper Magazine, and the San Francisco Guardian.

[on the title character in 'Meek's Cutoff'] He's so compelling, and what was really interesting is how everyone experiences him differently. If you read the journals of those who were there, it's clear that some see him as a loudmouth and a bit of a buffoon, and some felt he was just a trapper who had misread his maps. Others felt he was just full of it. The only thing all the journals agree on is he was a showman. Show less «

[observation, 2014, on her seemingly minimalist form of storytelling] A movie is a series of reveals, essentially, and then you're supposed to sit in a room and tell someone what it all means. That goes against everything that I just worked for. So I have no interest in summing it all up. It's all out there. Show less «
