Ryan M James is a writer, editor & director with a diverse range of creative and technical experience in both film and video games. By day, Ryan works as an editor for the games industry. Under cover of night, he conjures stories for print, screen, and web.
Proficient in all stages of production, from concept to completion, Ryan never tires of the thrill of artistic collaboration on a project, regardless of genre or medium. He uses his technical expertise and knowledge of storytelling techniques to direct, edit, and/or write compelling pieces with a visual style and a strong sense of narrative.
With his production company, Ryan has co-written two screen plays, edited several shorts, and directed an online game demo, the independent feature film REAL, and the popular machinima webseries A CLONE APART. These experiences have attracted interest of game developers PANDEMIC STUDIOS and later NAUGHTY DOG, where Ryan has spent over a decade crafting trailers, cinematics, behind-the-scenes and recruiting material, and is always up for a new creative challenge.
Most recently, that challenge was his first novel, co-written with his mother, award-winning author SYRIE JAMES. Their book, entitled FORBIDDEN, is due out in winter 2012.
Ryan welcomes visitors to follow him or his production company on whatever social media suits their fancy. He and his wife live in Los Angeles, about a stone’s throw away from Syrie.
