Hi, my name is Ryan, and I am a video producer, film director, writer, editor, cinematographer, photographer, composer and visual effects artist from Cleveland, Ohio. In 2015, I made a video explaining the special theory of relativity which won the international Breakthrough Junior Challenge. I then earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art, Film and Visual Studies Harvard College in 2020. For the next few years I worked as a Creative Producer at an ed tech startup called Tract, honing my editing and motion graphics skills as I oversaw the production of hundreds of edutainment videos. Since 2017 I have enjoyed participating in the Cleveland 48 Hour Film Project and other local film competitions.
