Hollywood, California – Renowned visual effects supervisor Scott Coulter continues to set the standard for excellence in the film industry with his latest work on the highly anticipated movie "Reagan." Directed by Sean McNamara and produced by Mark Joseph, "Reagan" will be released nationally on August 30, featuring over 1,000 visual effects shots that bring a new level of realism and immersion to the screen.
Scott Coulter has been at the forefront of visual effects for over 30 years, and his contributions to special effects in film span more than 40 years.

"Reagan" tells the compelling story of one of America’s most iconic presidents, recreating key moments from Ronald Reagan’s presidency with stunning visual accuracy. The film features iconic scenes such as Reagan's famous "Tear down this wall!" speech in Berlin and the memorable "There you go again" moment from the Jimmy Carter debate. Coulter’s visual effects supervision brings these historical moments to life, immersing audiences in a visually stunning portrayal of these significant events.
