An award-winning filmmaker hailing from the twin-island republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Ryan C. Khan prides himself on being a passionate, collaborative, and resourceful artist who enjoys pioneering industries and finding uncommon ways to produce projects within untapped cultures and communities. He has been in the film industry for over 20 years, starting in a boutique video production house's editorial department and then forging his way through various industry forms, such as television, teaching, and film festivals. He has developed a distinctive supernatural-meets-commercial dimension to his work, relying on limited resources to craft high-quality, hypnotic stories.

One of the first recipients to receive funding from his country's newly established film commission, FilmTT, he successfully wrote, produced, and directed his first two short films MINUTES TO MIDNITE and THE MIDNITE AFFAIR, which saw limited theatrical/VOD release. He then completed his third short film, HOW MANY TIMES?, screened at CANNES SHORT FILM CORNER 2014. He has also produced, directed, and edited music videos for regionally renowned artists KES THE BAND, ORANGE SKY, BUNJI GARLIN, and commercials for multinational advertising agencies MCCANN WORLD GROUP, SAATCHI & SAATCHI, and OGILVY.

He now crafts unique stories under Ryan C Khan Films, working within the region for notable brands, artists, and collaborators, creating fresh and innovative content.

"Under one of the Trinidad and Tobago Film Commission's film assistance programs, Ryan excelled both in his role as Director under the programme as well as in a support capacity for the post-production marketing and distribution. A savvy film practitioner and willing collaborator."

"I first worked with Ryan some 7 years ago, in an editorial capacity on a short film and there began our adventure together in Production! Ryan is a truly talented filmmaker at heart and always pulls out all the stops to get the job done no matter how tough the challenge or tight the deadline. Whether it be as an editor or director Ryan lives and breathes the production with an in-depth knowledge of the brand and target market, seamlessly translating creative concepts into heartfelt storytelling at its best. Behind the camera, Ryan perfectly balances aesthetically beautiful shots all the while accommodating Agency and Client's best interests with endless enthusiasm and love for the art of film. This is reflected in winning many international awards year after year from a commercial journey that has included 2 Giraffes and a truck full of popcorn!"

"Ryan is a magician when it comes to editing and VFX."
