- Sound Department
Ryan is a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in the entertainment and media industry. Their journey began as an office assistant for Academy Award nominated producer Lawrence Bender (Pulp Fiction, Good Will Hunting, Inglorious Basterds). Ryan quickly transitioned to hands-on production roles, contributing to notable projects such as Surrogates, The Town, and The Social Network. Throughout their career, Ryan has honed their skills in sound production, working as a boom operator, sound recordist, and sound editor for independent films, documentaries, podcasts, lifestyle, and brand content.
They draw inspiration from the legendary sound artist team of Academy Award winner Alan Splet, and Ann Kroeber (The Black Stallion, Blue Velvet, Dead Poets Society). In a serendipitous turn of events, Ryan had the opportunity to collaborate with Ann, recording environments and creating nuanced and evocative sound designs.
With a lifelong passion for movies and movie history, particularly in the horror genre, Ryan's love for storytelling began at a young age; armed with a family VHS camcorder, a couple of VCRs, a cassette player, and a creative spirit, they started making films long before their formal education in film production. Today, Ryan is taking their unique experiences, outside-the-box thinking, and experimental nature back full circle developing genre films and immersive audio narratives.
