Hello, my name is Sean Ryan and I am eager to enter the world of film and video production. I am an alumni of SUNY Purchase College where I graduated with a BA in Cinema and Television Studies. There I learned to interact and analyze film and film history in an academic and critical way. There I also got hands on experience with all aspects of the filmmaking process through production classes where I learned skills in documentary filmmaking, video journalism, directing, cinematography, sound design, lighting design, and editing. I hope to use my background in film studies to allow me to inform my production work, drawing on film styles, aesthetics, and theory to create one of a kind and elevated products.
