Ryan Johnston - The Screenwriter/Producer
On top of acting, Ryan Johnston is also a screenwriter and independent producer.
After studying screenwriting at the Vancouver Film School, Ryan moved to Mexico, where he lived on the beach and worked in nightclubs and resorts. Returning to Canada, Ryan continued working in the bar industry for twelve years - the last six of which he owned and operated thirteen locations across Canada. For the last three years, Ryan has focused on writing. He created and wrote features and sitcoms in the Comedy, Action, and Animation genres.
Ryan and his creative partner, Jack Jerz, self-published their first graphic novel. Since publication, the IP has been picked up by showrunner Kieran Valla (Little Demons) and producer Mike Blutstein (Dopesick) to be sold as an Adult Comedy Animated series.
Ryan has also adapted the novel "All Men Are Assholes... And All Women Are Crazy" written by the talented Jordan West. Noah Jones of FWRD Management is shopping around the screenplay and back-pocketed TV series.
Ryan's first Animated feature-length, Hallows Eve High, is rated in the top two percent of all features on Coverfly and is currently in the running for a Finalist position in the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition.
In his downtime, Ryan is working on his adult non-fiction novel about love, transgression, and self-discovery, a memoir of his experiences growing from independent fuckboy to single parent dad.
