Serving professional filmmakers and writers since 1993

In The Spotlight:

DIRECTOR

RYAN MCKINNEY

Can you say multi-hyphanete? Ryan McKinney began acting at the tender age of 6, making movies and performing in stage productions.

After a very short stint playing professional baseball, Ryan attended San Francisco State University, where he directed over 20 short films and music videos, graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cinema.

As an actor, he has appeared in over 50 movies and TV shows including  “Flubber” with Robin Williams, and “Nash Bridges” with Don Johnson.

Ryan and Lou Diamond Phillips on set 

 Ryan's new feature,  “The Invited" which stars Lou Diamond Phillips, and Pam Grier  is an  eight million dollar "Hollywood" production. It will make it's premiere on April 17th,  the opening day of this year's Sacramento Film Festival.

Sacramentans will remember Ryan for the breakout sensation "Memorial", which won the very first  "Place Called Sacramento" in 2001 and went on to win several other fests. 'Memorial' first demonstrated to local audiences the power of a local director and established a track record that would not only lead Ryan to greater things but pave the way for many to follow.

It is for this reason that SFF will bestow the inaugural NorCal Legend award to Ryan at the Sacramento Film Awards (April 25th on board the Delta King).   This award is being given to Ryan not only for the amazing career he's had and for his inspiration to so many others on the local scene.
