🙋‍♂️ ABOUT ME:
Hello, my name is Ryan Camp, and I LOVE to tell stories! I've been writing music and making movies since I was a teenager. I started out borrowing my grandmother's HD camcorder to make little movies with my friends, and over the years, my passion for filmmaking has exploded! After college, I started a video production company in my home state of North Carolina and eventually began making YouTube videos to share my passion with others, teach from my mistakes and successes, and become part of a wonderful community of like-minded creatives!

Let's become better filmmakers together!

Love,

Ryan
