An award-winning director who found a route to film via his love of sport, Ryan’s work has been featured in Vogue, Vanity Fair and The New York Times, with his accolades including a D&AD Award for Best Narrative Music Video for M83's My Tears Are Becoming A Sea, co-directed with collaborator Sacha Barbin.

“Ryan is a passionate and outspoken director,” says Marta Bobić, MD of CANADA London. “He uses his art to challenge and inspire viewers, and we are excited to bring his elegant and powerful filmic sensibility to CANADA.”

Ryan explains how “Words can't fully capture my gratitude for becoming a part of CANADA. In the little time I've been here I've gotten to meet and work with some incredibly talented people, and witnessed their passion for each project and the incredible support they provide to one another. I am beyond excited to be here, and I can't wait to dive into some exciting things together.”
