Ryan Parrott was born in Bakersfield, California, but spent the
majority of his youth growing up in Las Vegas. Unlike many modern
filmmakers, Ryan didn't immediately gravitate towards the medium,
enrolling instead in the art program at the University of Nevada,
Reno. But after being exposed to an abundance of new digital
formats, he soon discovered that all his art projects shared a
similar theme: Film. Transferring to Chapman University in the fall
of 2000, Ryan hoped to make an immediate impact within the intimate
film studies program. His first project, Ride, was the recipient of
numerous awards and screened in over a dozen film festivals around
the world, including the 2005 Cannes International Film Festival.
His success didn't diminish as he wrote and collaborated on How to
Cover-up the Death of your Best Friend, which received the award
for best undergraduate film and culminated in producing and
co-writing the short horror film, Husk, an official selection of
the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Upon graduation, Ryan directed his
first feature film, Loaded, a low-budget independent action drama
for Bulletproof Productions. After a short theatrical release, the
film was distributed worldwide by Westlake Entertainment.
Dan Mora is an artist whose work includes Buffyverse comics from
Boom! Studios.
