A Grey Area (short film)
After going through a bit of burnout and a major creative drought through most of 2021, I took a short hiatus from comedy and made this psychological thriller/horror short film (23 minute run time) with a friend. I co-wrote, co-directed, co-shot, edited, produced, scored, and acted in this film. Also, this film was recently selected to appear in the 2022 Long Island Film Festival!
Right Now with Ryan: The World’s Fastest Late Night Show
I love all the parts of Late Night TV shows (guests, games, skits, music, etc.) but I think they’re way too long…so in February 2020, I created an entire episode of Late Night and squeezed it into under 2 1/2 minutes (140 seconds to be exact). After receiving an overwhelmingly positive response, I turned it into a weekly Late Night show, under the same format. The first season ran for 13 episodes, and they are all posted on my Twitter, Instagram, & YouTube accounts. Here’s the very first episode:
TikTok
After the first season of Right Now with Ryan, I took a brief hiatus and focused strictly on TikToks for a few months. This led to one of my videos hitting 1.2 million views on TikTok:

Right Now with Ryan: The World’s Fastest Sketch Comedy Show
In November 2020, I decided to bring “Right Now w/ Ryan” back for a special Thanksgiving episode. However, I wanted to switch up the format from the ‘Late Night’-style to a ‘Saturday Night Live’-style. Here it is:
Real Kraft Mayo Contest
In May 2021, I entered Real Kraft Mayo’s “Mayodorsement” Contest where they asked people to “show how much you love mayo”. I submitted my original video on Twitter and was selected as one of only 8 Finalists! After three rounds of voting, I made it all the way to the Finals! Here is the video that got selected:
