Finally.

A drive is going to the colorist tomorrow, and we should have a finished film in the next few weeks. If you’re interested in seeing a screener, please email me at ryan@goldhatpictures.com.

I’ve been thinking about this for ages, and now it seems like LotR might actually get remade in my lifetime. I’d love to be a part of it, but even if I’m not, I’d just like to watch something true to the spirit of Tolkien’s world, not just the letter.

My concept

Happy to say my short script, THE FOREST FENCED BECOMES BACKYARDS, LIKE SONGS ARE BORN FROM SOUND took second place in the 2017 Slamdance screenplay contest shorts category.

Here’s the write-up in Variety. Congrats to Tyler Tice and all the other winners. See ya in Park City in January!

If you’d like to read the script, please contact me at ryan[at]goldhatpictures.com.

Feature films take a long to finish, especially when you don’t have a budget. However I can now confidently predict ALL EARTHLY CONSTRAINTS, my debut feature, will be finished and hitting the festival circuit, at long last in 2020.

My first feature film, “All Earthly Constraints,” is currently in pre-production. Principal photography will take place in Summer 2015.
