Reel As Dirt is the creation of Greg Kohs, a visionary ten-time Emmy®-winning filmmaker, who has masterfully applied his signature "captured not contrived" storytelling style to all of his feature films. His emotionally captivating work has earned him recognition as an elite "Goose Person" for luxury brand Canada Goose and a proud membership in the Directors Guild of America.

 

Raised in the Motor City, Kohs honed his craft at NFL Films shortly after graduating from the University of Notre Dame. During his time at NFL Films, he developed his skill in capturing unforgettable, goosebump-inducing moments that have since become a hallmark of his work.

 

Greg's award-winning documentaries, including "Song Sung Blue," "The Great Alone," "AlphaGo," "COIN," and "The Thinking Game," exemplify his commitment to authentic narratives. His unique ability to highlight individuals who relentlessly pursue their passions has made him a sought-after storyteller in the industry.

 

Kohs has a remarkable track record of venturing into diverse and challenging environments to capture groundbreaking stories. His impressive body of work includes documenting cancer survivor and four-time Iditarod champion Lance Mackey in the remote Arctic, as well as chronicling the frenzied trading desk at Goldman Sachs during Coinbase's unprecedented public offering—a moment never before captured on film.

 

In 2016, Kohs' lens turned towards a historic breakthrough in artificial intelligence in Seoul, South Korea. This historic moment, considered by many as the Sputnik Moment that ignited the AI arms race we experience today, exemplifies Kohs' instinct for being at the forefront of transformative events. Kohs' most recent work, The Thinking Game,  chronicles the extraordinary journey of visionary scientist Sir Demis Hassabis, from his early days as a chess prodigy at the tender age of four to winning the Nobel Prize for AlphaFold, a revolutionary scientific AI breakthrough that promises to shape our lives and those of future generations.

 

Set to hit theaters in late 2025, the highly anticipated Universal Pictures adaptation of Kohs' first documentary, "Song Sung Blue," features Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson, with Greg serving as a Producer.

 

Greg's unwavering dedication to exploring his curiosity has led him to his current project exploring the frontier of Longevity sciences, a journey that both solidifies his position as an elite filmmaker at the leading edge of his craft and ensures his work continues to inspire and captivate audiences worldwide.
