The Pre-Production meeting to create Ryan Reichenfeld.

Ryan Reichenfeld is a writer + director, based in Los Angeles. 

 

Ryan Reichenfeld left home at 15 to become a professional skateboarder - a bold move that’s indicative of his tone as a director. His innate understanding of action, movement, and camera choreography is at the heart of his approach.

Ryan cut his teeth as an Offline Editor and VFX Artist+Supervisor, collaborating directly with filmmakers like Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, The Daniels, Hiro Murai, David Gelb, Nabil, Warren Fu, and Alma Har'el.

He rose as a director in the music video world, writing and directing music videos for Justin Timberlake, Imagine Dragons, Steve Martin (yes the comedian), Pusha-T, Sam Hunt, Steve Aoki, Lil Jon, and Grammy-winning artist RAC amongst others.

In the advertising space, he's become known for combining creative camera moves/technical VFX processes alongside authentic narratives. His straightforward way of empathizing with characters enables him to create films that celebrate everyday human stories on a cinematic scale.

His award winning short docs for SEAN and SKATEBOARDING IN OAKLAND, blur the lines between traditional non-fiction docs and stylized scripted narratives - winning awards at D&AD, Vimeo Staff Picks, Kinsale Sharks, and a feature development deal at a major streamer. Other notable non-scripted projects include directing the entire first season of 5 MINUTES FROM HOME, the first show that launched Steph Curry's production company - Unanimous Media.

Ryan continues to create memorable work in the advertising space, and is currently writing/developing scripted projects for television and feature film.
