Introduce Yourself : Editor, Videographer, and aspiring screenwriter by Ryan Hanratty

Ryan Hanratty

Editor, Videographer, and aspiring screenwriter

Hi all,

Great to emeet everyone!

I just joined Stage 32 the other day after watching their awesome Netflix Pitch Breakdown that I came across on Instagram!

Currently, I am a freelancer working out of New York City. I edit network news part-time and started my own production company 7 years ago. Aside from my part-time gig, I have dedicated the last 3 years to freelancing and I am hoping to develop a production team going forward under the banner of Frosted Green Productions. I shoot, edit, and hopefully can at some point consider myself a professional screenwriter.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Have a great rest of your weekend.

Welcome, Ryan! Let's see what we can do here

Good to meet you, Ryan Hanratty, and welcome to the community! Wow, congrats on your successful editing career and production company! What kind of videos/films do you make with your production company?

Actually, I'd love for you to post a little about your workflow as a news editor in the Post-Production Lounge: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/post_production I used to teach broadcast media to teenagers so I know at least a few members that would love to know more about what you do!

Of course, as a filmmaker/producer, I think you'd enjoy meeting like-minded creatives in the Filmmaking Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/directing) and the Producing Lounge (https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing).

Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my blog post on how to get the most out of the Stage32 Community:

Hi Karen, how are you? :) I can definitely make a post in post-pro thread, thanks for letting me know. Outside of news, my projects tend to vary but the ones I get the most joy out of are music videos, lyric videos, and anything narrative based whether it be film, documentary, or some sort of brand content that tells a story.

I would love to get more editing work on short films and start building that side of my reel.
