Career
Rea began creating short films in 2002. He collaborated with Ryan Jones and Josh Robison to found the company SenoReality Pictures, which was a winner in Fangoria's Blood Drive contest.

His first full-length film, The Empty Acre, was completed in 2006 and premiered at the Kansas International Film Festival. The DVD was released and nationally distributed in summer 2007. Rea went on to co-direct the 2010 Showtime special Jake Johannsen: I Love You and in 2012, directed the featurette Rhino. The following year he released the indie horror flick Nailbiter and in 2020, released I Am Lisa. His supernatural thriller They Wait in the Dark was released in early 2023. Later that year, Rea directed the short film The Last Butterflies starring Cooper Andrews. In 2024 Rea's found footage vampire film The Night Is Young was released.
