Renaissance Ryan
I am a self-shooting director, producer and editor with a background in short film, corporate video, commercial and music videos. I am funny, nerdy, and passionate about storytelling.
A maestro at juggling budgets, resources, and the intricate dance of delivering successful video campaigns, I thrive in coordinating shoots, orchestrating post-production, and bringing together talented freelance teams to turn ideas into vibrant realities.
I find joy in the complexities of life, celebrating failures through the lens of comedy. My creative palette is bold, delving into profound concepts and strong genres while telling down-to-earth stories through larger-than-life adventures.
My journey began in 2010 with a comedy band, leading me to acting and a love for filmmaking. Studying Film Production at Confetti ICT in Nottingham solidified this passion. Since then, I've worked across various roles in film and TV, won a Best Narrative Short award, and co-founded Them Pesky Kids. Together, we’ve created cinematic gems like the crowdfunded Ariella and paid homage to Alan Sillitoe’s Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.
Beyond film, I’m drawn to hiking, rock climbing, and stand-up comedy as I make my way back onto the comedy circuit.
I’m now looking for new projects. Whether you need a producer to lead a team, a solo videographer, or an assistant on other shoots, I’m ready to bring your vision to life. Let’s collaborate!
Where my talents lie…
Producing
From booking crews, managing travel arrangements, and organizing accommodation, to collaborating closely with clients and deciphering project briefs - I excel in coordinating every aspect of a project. My proficiency with spreadsheets and my knack for creative problem-solving make me a reliable asset in ensuring smooth project execution. I’m a great leader and huge people person.
Directing
I relish in creating and sharing a vision with a team of talented creatives to bring that vision to life. Writing and creating scripts and treatments, I bring my humour, passion and fascination with what makes people tick to the films I create. On set, I’m a positive force of creativity. I love making the everyday seem extraordinary through the magic of imagination and filmmaking.
Editing
Every story gets found in the editing room, I love being the one to find it. I’ve used a range of programs to do so, Premiere Pro, DaVinci, and even Avid, although I haven’t used Avid since university (great to know though, right?). On time and organized. I love adding extra flair with motion graphics, special effects and animations with After Effects. I’ve even created 3D animations using Blender because I love taking on new projects!
