This is Ryan.

Ryan Polly is a writer/director that loves creating genre stories that make people laugh, scream, cry, or all three inexplicably at once.

This year, he shot his debut feature, MONITOR, a horror film co-directed with his creative partner Matt Black and produced by Temple Hill, the team behind the SMILE franchise. Ryan is currently in development on multiple feature film projects, including adaptations of his winning short films PIZZA TIME and I BET YOU'RE WONDERING HOW I GOT HERE.

Ryan also co-founded Weekend Video with producer Grant Wakefield, an advertainment agency making commercials, explainers, and branded content for clients like Nintendo, Pizza Hut, Southwest Airlines, and more.
