Hey.

About Me

Hey, my name's Ryan, I love movies, mostly horror. I'm a big fan of Takashi Miike (Audition), and Kiyoshi Kurosawa (Cure, Kourei, Kairo) and Hideo Nakata (Ringu, Ghost Actress, Chaos). Although i'm also into all other genres.
I'm a former Tae Kwon Do instructor, and like performing martial arts for show, i'd love to do onscreen fighting if ever I get the chance. I also am into Capoeira, Judo, and Thai Boxing styles. I've always been a wrestling fan, and recently one of my friends has got me into MMA (Pride, K1, UFC).
I'm an independent filmmaker (Director, Editor, Writer, Compositor, & DVD Author), and I currently work with small production companies called Dalewood Productions and Sisbro & Co. My goal/dream is to be a fairly well known horror film director some day.
I'm quiet and shy, I always have been. I don't care about the things most people seem to be into. I'm not into cars, clubs, sports, the majority of pop culture, and all the fun stuff. I never follow the pack. I'm only interested in following my goals, and helping others with their original goals. I'd like to find people who actually have dreams and want to pursue them without anyone getting in their way. I'd love to meet, and make friends and connections with anyone into or pursuing their own art.
I don't really get along with people who are not creative in any way what so ever. Good friends are hard to find, and i'd always love to have more. Especially if they're not complicated for the sake of being complicated. I don't like too much drama, and I hate those who feed off the misery of others.

My Interests

Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai movies, Film production, Martial arts - Tae Kwon Do, Capoeira, Horror movies, Psychological Thriller, Wrestling/Fighting - WWE, TNA - Computers, internet.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone - Friends, filmmakers, artists. I like strange and original people.
I'm not gay, but I don't mind having gay, lesbian or bi friends, and have nothing against it. I wouldn't mind living in a big house or condo with a bunch of independent people some day, each with their own goals. People with that way of thinking should stick with their own kind, as trying to mix with people who go for the standard way of living would cause problems (Not that I think such people are wrong, just not for me).
Relationship wise, i'm not really interested in anything ordinary. I'd like to find someone who wants to do her own thing, whom would like to spend their spare time with someone who also wants to do his own thing. I'd like to find someone whom most would have every reason to be jealous about, because I know I wouldn't be. I'd trust someone more who wants to get out and spend as much of their time as possible to do what they love doing, moreso then someone who wants to cling and be in contact 95% of each day.
Below is a slideshow of some graphic work i've done.

Some random pics of me.
