Join us for the third in our series of director interviews from the roster of Cry, the creative and post studio behind this podcast. This week Justin chats with director & editor, Ryan Vera about his creative process, finding the flow state, and maintaining authenticity in a noisy world.

In this discussion, Ryan touches on his early days at Cry (formerly Abandon Films), and how he found his voice as a creative force, both directing and editing.

He discusses the musicality of editing in a flow state, doing his own sound design, and creating a space that’s conducive to deep work. Ryan touches on project case studies, executing a creative vision, and bringing a genuine, human perspective.

Ryan even explores the philosophical and existential challenges faced in the cluttered world of digital content creation and the impact of AI on the industry. He gives valuable insight about finding joy in real relationships and the value that brings in a media-filled world. Overall, Ryan’s thoughts & reflections offer grounded wisdom & practical tools you won’t want to miss.
