Stone Roses 3:07

Ryann Jet, USA

I began my film journey when I was given my first camera. I was fascinated by the process of storytelling, and how they came together on camera. I graduated from St. John's University with a Bachelors in TV and Film. From there I expanded my writing and directing knowledge by writing various screenplays and directing shorts. I particularly like creating unique worlds within the Sci-Fi genre. I absolutely loved the dark nature of this project. I wanted to convey what the artist was going through with Shadow Work and self reflection, which is why mirrors are so heavily used.
