From the outskirts of Salem since birth, Zach Ryan came to Portland to begin his film career quickly following his associates from Chemeketa Community College. Growing up always going to the theater, looking forward to the next movie. Entertainment is all Zach knows, turning anything and everything he likes into something bigger, he has always had a tendency to make something out of "things", the more he learned about filmmaking, the more he realized this was his path. Zach has studied primarily Sound Recording/Design, Screenwriting, Producing, and Direction. Along the journey he has made many connections, which commonly end up just becoming his friends, he is incredibly kind, social, and for better or worse, honest to a fault. Zach's biggest goal is simply to make people happy/entertained, hopefully not at his own cost but with effort needed. He plans to continue building his reels and experience in Portland for the time, with plans to likely move in the next few years
