About the director
Ryan Carmichael is a writer and filmmaker from Southfield, MI. He studied film at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor where he graduated with honors and won a Directors Guild of America Student Filmmaker award for his thesis film "Everything's New in Lost Time." After testing the waters of advertising for a year, Ryan decided to continue to pursue his dream by accepting admission to NYU's graduate film program. There he met his creative collaborator, Jason Stefaniak, and formed Impolite Company. Inspired by the music of Thelonious Monk and The Roots, the writing of Dostoevsky and Kurt Vonnegut; and the films of Spike Lee and Jean-Luc Godard, Ryan aims to channel and synthesize these paradigm-shifting influences and filter them through a lens that examines and questions the existential circumstances and ironies of modern humanity. He is persistently driven by the exploration of new ideas.
