Available to hire
I’m Ryan Gibson, Chief Creative Officer, screenwriter, producer, and lecturer. Since January 2022 I’ve been directing Opulent Artist’s creative output, shaping the artistic design strategy and crafting a distinctive brand image that resonates with audiences and drives functional goals.
Over the years I’ve mentored hundreds of writers, collaborated with diverse teams to move stories from concept to screen, and written for TV and film including projects with Lionsgate and high-profile networks. I’m passionate about helping writers find their voice, develop strong characters, and tell stories that entertain, inform, and inspire. And believe that passion will translate to working at Twine.
