Meet Ryan Cho

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Ryan Cho. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Ryan below.

Ryan, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
Due to past experiences of hardships, tribulations and many failures in my life and career (jobs not working out or being the right fit, rejections, etc.), those experiences led me to desire to work harder and be better at what I do professionally. As those tough experiences were not good times, having a motivation to not go through that again has led me to my work ethic.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I’m a filmmaker and creative that works in the production department and occasionally directs and acts on occasion. I work on feature films, television shows, music videos, events and a couple other mediums of storytelling. As scripted film+television and music videos are my life force, I’m gearing towards doing that full-time with occasional other mediums on the side. As I have multiple skill sets (having had experience in other departments as well such as camera and editorial department), my multitude of skills have cultivated me to be adaptable and reliable for any experience. I can work behind the scenes and also in front of the camera, transitioning well between the two.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Being adaptable to changes in your life and career, knowing multiple skills sets and learning to get along with anyone has impacted my experiences as a filmmaker+creative in a lot of ways. These 3 things have made me pave the way through the entertainment industry and have a wide variety of work experiences in different departments. For anyone that’s early in their careers, learn to accept that failure and hardship is part of the process towards your goals. Doing jobs that are a little out of your comfort zone also is good since it can make you learn a lot faster and more efficiently, developing your skill sets in a challenging and engaging way.

How can folks who want to work with you connect?
If you’re interested in working on a project with me, you can contact me via email (ryancho508@gmail.com) and my other contact info options as well listed below. As of right now, I’m highly interested in directing music videos and collaborating with musicians and artists that create their own music (EPs, singles, albums, etc.). As I like all genres of music (folk, alternative rock, jazz, etc.), I’m open minded to all mediums of music. I’m looking for music collaborators that can partner with me to create something together. I’m also interested in working on other mediums of storytelling as well (commercials, short films, etc.) mostly in directing, as well as in the production department and acting.
