In 2017, Reese told ITV that she cofounded her production company, Pacific Standard, to give women better roles:
"It really came from reading all these bad scripts. I was talking to my girlfriends who are actresses, and we were like, 'There's nothing out there, they're really not making anything for us. So I thought, well then I'll start a company, self-funded, and I'll start developing roles for women. I'm really proud."
