About

I'm Ryan – a producer and filmmaker with a decade of experience creating branded content, documentaries, social media campaigns, narrative films, and non-profit videos. Based in vibrant Queens, NYC, I approach each project with unwavering focus, kindness, and an even keel demeanor.

I’m currently the Senior Producer at Red Summit Productions, our team was recently recognized by Giggster as a top 10 corporate production company in New York City.

My portfolio includes collaborations with industry giants like Walmart, Netflix, PayPal, GMC, Gotham FC, Hasbro, National Park Service, and New York Public Radio.

Before my time at Red Summit, I spent eight impactful years at Reel Works, a Brooklyn-based filmmaking non-profit. Starting as an Associate Producer and ascending to the role of Head of Production, I played a pivotal role in leading the in-house production company. Our mission was twofold – training NYC youth for careers in the production industry while producing client projects with seasoned professionals.

Beyond the corporate hustle, I co-founded Frisson Films, a non-profit dedicated to classical music-based video projects. I also write and direct my own short films – my latest, b l u s h, screened at the Phoenix Art Museum, Queens World Film Festival, and New Hampshire Film Festival.

Off-set, I'm pounding the pavement training for my first marathon and practicing street photography, trying to capture all the in between moments.

Join me on this ever-evolving journey of storytelling, production, and exploration. I'm always eager to collaborate and bring fresh ideas to life, so let's connect and embark on the next exciting project together.

Let’s make stuff.
