Reg Traviss is feature film writer and director.

As a filmmaker, Reg has worked across Britain and overseas and has directed talent from Hollywood, the United Kingdom and continental Europe.

In 2003, Reg co-founded Kingsway Films Limited – a feature film production company based in central London – with ex Channel Four Producer / Director Alex Harvey.

Reg is currently attached to direct a based on truth prison thriller later this year with bestselling author Ronnie Thompson – and he is attached to direct a new Kingsway Films’ production slated for mid-2011.

Below are some press review quotes from the UK release of JOY DIVISION:

“…intelligent and affecting debut from Traviss marks him out as one of the UK’s most promising new film-makers” (Film Review magazine – June 2007)

“Joy Division is one of the greatest war / cold war movies I have seen in a very long time…reminiscent of Saving Private Ryan and Downfall…AN EPIC THRILLER WITH A SOLID STORY” (Blockbuster – June 2007)


“SWEEPING, TUMULTUOUS HISTORICAL EPIC” (New York Times – December 2006)

“Every penny of it’s tiny £4m budget has been well spent with the scenes impressively shot…you have to admire the vision of director Reg Traviss” (Daily Mirror – Nov 2006)

“Reg Traviss’ first feature takes the breath away with it’s sheer ambition…a director to watch!” (The Herald – Nov 2006)

“…give Traviss his due, it’s an ambitious project to attempt on a very little budget, and he succeeds admirably in recreating both the wartime devastation and the atmosphere of swinging sixties London”. (Birmingham Post – Nov 2006)
