About

I’m Ryan Rivard—a producer based in New York City with over a decade of experience in branded content, documentaries, narrative, and music-driven projects.

Currently, I serve as Senior Producer at Red Summit Productions, leading projects for clients like Netflix, PayPal, Walmart, and Columbia University.

I thrive in the space between creativity and logistics, bringing a calm, focused energy to every set. My short film b l u s h was recognized for Best Short and Social Impact at FashFilmFête, and Le Désert et la Mer, a fully animated visual poem I co-directed, won “Best Animated Project” at the Albuquerque Film & Music Experience.

On the commercial side, I’ve produced over 100 influencer campaigns, managed crews across the country and keep things running smoothly—clear, collaborative, and low-stress.

At the heart of my work is a commitment to thoughtful storytelling and the people behind it. I’m an inclusivity advocate, a clear communicator, and someone who believes the best work often happens in the in-between—where there’s space for play, spontaneity, and surprise.

Outside of production, I’m usually training for my next half marathon, at a heavy metal show, or wandering the city with my camera in search of quiet frames and shifting light.
