Ryan is a queer filmmaker based in Toronto, Ontario. Exploring themes of illness, and queer life, Ryan aims to encapsulate the experiences and emotions of those differences often unseen and looked over. Through his films, he hopes to bring awareness and advocate for a better understanding of others.

Ryan earned a BFA in Film Studies from the School of Image Arts at Toronto Metropoiltan University (formerly Ryerson University) in 2016. During his studies, he participated in the International Co-production program in partnership with Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen in Munich.

When not working on films, Ryan is usually found either working in his garden or immersing himself in the meditative process of pottery.
