Writer/Director Ryan Manley
I’m a writer/director living in Burbank, California who’s in love with the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Everything from the bright pastels, to the hairstyles, to the slang, music, and the movies, I’m obsessed with it all. I write scripts that make you say “Wow they haven’t made stuff like this in a while, but they should. I miss those days.” When it comes to dramas, I enjoy writing character pieces that instantly transport you back to decades ago.
On the comedy side of things, I try my best to evoke John Hughes classics like Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and The Breakfast Club. Writing and directing movies and TV is literally the only thing I’ve ever wanted to do, and it’s what makes me the happiest. To say I’m a quirky guy is a bit of an understatement. Two phrases I’ve heard over and over throughout my life are “You are quite the character” and “That’s just Ryan being Ryan.” Whatever they mean, I fully accept both to be true. I’m proud to be me, because it’s all I know how to do.
