Award-winning actress, writer, and creative powerhouse Faith Reed is redefining what it means to be a modern leading lady—captivating audiences both in front of and behind the camera.
This fall marks a major milestone for the Los Angeles-based multi-hyphenate. Her short film Inflection Points—which she wrote, produced, and starred in—is making waves on the film festival circuit, earning her a Best Actress Award, two Best Actress Nominations, and a nomination for Best Women’s Short to date.
A quiet yet emotionally charged exploration of transformation, Inflection Points captures the pivotal moments that shape who we become. The film cements Faith’s reputation as a compelling new voice in independent cinema—one who marries vulnerability and strength with bold narrative choices and authentic storytelling.
Beyond her success on the festival stage, Faith’s creative reach extends into advocacy and mentorship. As a board member of the Los Angeles nonprofit The New Hollywood, she helps champion the organization’s mission of empowering women through mentorship, education, and values-driven leadership.
Earlier this year, she co-produced and performed in The New Hollywood’s sold-out Benefit Concert, a celebration uniting Broadway and on-screen talent in support of artistic and social change.
A Virginia native and Boston University alumna, Faith’s roots run deep in the performing arts—from musical theater and professional dance training to screenwriting, acting, and production. Her on-screen presence reflects both precision and passion, grounded in an enduring curiosity about the human experience.
In 2024, Faith launched The Actor Diaries, a digital platform that blends artistic insight, storytelling, and the realities of a creative lifestyle. What began as a personal creative outlet soon evolved into a thriving community that celebrates the “in-between” moments of resilience, reinvention, and growth in an artist’s journey.
“The Actor Diaries started as a way to stay creative between projects,” Faith shares. “But it’s become this living archive of what it truly takes to commit to a life in the arts. It was about taking creative agency—building momentum for myself instead of waiting for someone else to give me an opportunity.”
Now, The Actor Diaries features monthly interviews with industry leaders and working artists, offering honest perspectives and practical insights for those forging their own paths in entertainment. As Faith continues to expand the platform, she is also developing new projects across multiple mediums while championing her acclaimed short film on the festival circuit.
In addition to her producing and writing ventures, Faith remains active in front of the camera—seeking out roles that align with her artistic purpose and vision. Through her ongoing work with The New Hollywood, she continues to advocate for creativity as a catalyst for empowerment and social impact.
With her signature blend of elegance, warmth, and ambition, Faith Reed is steadily emerging as one of Hollywood’s most promising creative forces—a storyteller unafraid to balance glamour with grit, and vulnerability with power.
