About Ryan

Born February 4, 2000, Ryan Henry Knight is an award-winning director and screenwriter from Alexandria, VA. He has involved himself in multiple realms of creativity, from the obvious filmmaking and visual art, to game development and clothing design.

The young artist is on a mission to not only expand in his areas of expertise, but to allow the opportunity for other creatives from across the map to truly hone their crafts and explore their potential. Ryan founded Cut x Sewn Magazine in 2015, a digital magazine and creative platform that features editorials and articles placing unheard talent under the spotlight. The following year, in 2016, Ryan applied his skills in creativity and branding to throw his first major event; Sense: A Creative Culture Convention. The event was laid out like a large scale art convention, featuring over 35 performers, designers, and visual artists from across the country, including an appearance from rapper, Goldlink.

The success and acclaim of the event led to Ryan creating Sense, a forward-thinking clothing brand where he worked and designed as the creative director for 9 months before realizing it was time for him to pass the torch and focus on his true passion; filmmaking. Now, Ryan spends his days and nights working on an array of projects, hoping to one day take his throne as one of the most prominent filmmakers to reach the big screen.
