Reeves was born in Rockville Centre, New York, and raised in Los Angeles. He began making movies at eight years old, directing friends with a wind-up camera. Reeves met J.J. Abrams when both were 13 years old, and both were having their short films aired on a cable access channel. Reeves and Abrams became friends and eventually co-created the TV series Felicity.

Reeves attended the University of Southern California. There, he produced an award-winning[citation needed] student film titled "Mr. Petrified Forest", which helped him acquire an agent, and also co-wrote a script that eventually became Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. After graduating, he co-wrote The Pallbearer, which also became his professional directorial debut.

In addition to co-creating Felicity and directing a handful of that series' episodes, including the pilot, Reeves has helmed the occasional episode of other TV series, including Homicide: Life on the Street and Relativity.[1]

More recently, Reeves appeared as an actor in the 2008 Sci Fi Pictures original film, BloodMonkey, and directed the Abrams-produced monster movie, Cloverfield.
