Roy Rede is a production designer for television, feature films and live theater [1]. He was raised in Morris County, New Jersey, attended James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia and resides in Los Angeles, California. Rede was nominated for an Emmy Award for his design of the opening of Super Bowl XXXVI.

Before working as a production designer, Rede worked as a songwriter and record producer. While signed to Kyle Baxter Utley's Flip It Records he produced eclectic tracks featuring Dolly Parton, Nanci Griffith and Carly Simon. The 1996 remix collaboration of his song "Relax" with DJ Junior Vasquez was the first dance single for Hungarian actress Zsa Zsa Gabor. Rede produced artist Nanci Griffith's controversial Baroque version of her country hit "Gulf Coast Highway" using a full choir and orchestral string ensemble.

In 2000 he partnered with producer David Meiselman, forming production company Meiselman-Rede Media Group (MRMG). Roy and David signed MRMG to a five picture deal with distributor CinemaPop, where Roy went on to write and produce the animated series "Paris Falls" and the feature film "El Matadero" [2].
