Director's Bio:

Ryan is an emerging filmmaker from Edmonton, AB, in Treaty 6 territory, in the Canadian prairies. Inspired by filmmakers as diverse as Kiarostami, Godard, Kieślowski, Varda, Wenders, Yang, Miranda July, and Claire Denis, Ryan has a broad array of cinematic influences. He is interested in films that are patient, stylistically and narratively innovative, and, above all, rooted in a sense of time and place that is socially/artistically/politically relevant to the present. From slow-burning films about generational societal shifts of the New Taiwanese Cinema to the iconoclastic experiments of the French New Wave, Ryan is interested in all things cinema and the moving image.
