Hosting & Piper's Picks TV
editIn 2007, at 7 years old, Reese began hosting Piper's Picks TV in Wellington, Florida and became the youngest video podcaster on the Internet.[8][9][10] Each episode features Reese's take on a chosen topic, such as food, theme park rides, films, and television shows, or more recently, the episodes have featured interviews with celebrities.[9][10] Reese's brother, Parker, appears with her in several of her show's episodes: #005, #008, #011, #017, #023, #025 and #037.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] In 2009, Reese's family relocated from Wellington, Florida to Los Angeles to support the growth and expansion of Piper's Picks TV and Piper's acting career.[8]
In January 2010, Reese began hosting Piper's Quick Picks, a series of red carpet interviews with popular teen celebrities which run shorter than regular Piper's Picks episodes. The series has since been folded back in to Piper's Picks TV.
Along the way, Piper began hosting InsPIPERation, a blog-style series in which Reese answers questions and gives advice to viewers and provides behind the scenes information.
Piper co-hosted Funny or Die's Boy Search series in 2014.[18]
In 2016, Piper started hosting Teen Tech Talk on the Piper's Picks TV Youtube Channel. the series covers techie subjects and gadgets in a similar style to the Piper's Picks TV series.
In 2017, Piper hosted a Delta Airlines project aimed at introducing its Aircraft Maintenance Technician vocation to middle school students throughout the United States. Piper filmed on location at various Delta facilities including its headquarters at Atlanta's International Airport, a Florida aircraft repair facility, Miami International Airport and LAX.[19]
Piper began hosting an education program aimed at high school students in 2019.[20] The project went on hiatus in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the same year, Piper's Picks TV tested a new series called The Bottom Line, a talk show-style series aimed at serious discussions on matters important to Gen Z and young Millennials.[21]
Acting
editPiper began acting as part of her early Piper's Picks TV episodes and later moved into stage and theater work. She made her first TV appearances on both ABC's The Neighbors and Modern Family.[22][23]
Starting in 2013, Piper Reese played the recurring-turned-lead role of Nancy Patanski in the Nickelodeon and CITV series Deadtime Stories, based on the book series of the same name.[24][25] Piper also made a guest star appearance in the Nickelodeon comedy series AwesomenessTV as hot dog cart operator Dot Hart.[26]
That's So Sketch, the first scripted series from Piper's Picks TV, launched in 2016, and features Reese alongside other actors in short sketch comedy segments.
In March, 2018, Reese disclosed that a scripted comedy TV show she is helping develop along with her father, Piper's Picks TV creator/producer Adam Feinsilver, and Deadtime Stories co-creator Annette Cascone entitled Piperazzi was selected as the most promising TV concept at MIPTV as well as the only comedy concept.[27]
In 2021, Piper made her film debut as lead Clare Taylor in the dark Dreamotion Studios' short film From Under the Bridge: When Bullies Become Trolls.[28] The film is written by Paul James Houghton and inspired by real events about a lonely and insecure high school girl, trying to navigate her way through the dark shadows of her depression and anxiety brought on by severe bullying, cyberbullying and deception.[29][30]
