Award winning filmmaker Ryan Lightbourn was born in Miami, Florida and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. After graduating from Rollins College in 2007, he decided to turn his hobby of creating digital music into a side-career, and enrolled at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. Unhappy with the Recording Arts program, Ryan decided to switch into film. Within a few months, Ryan felt that he was learning faster than he could be taught & dropped out of Full Sail; jumping straight into the film industry. Within five years, he had D.P.'d five feature films, directed two of his own, and directed over 100 music videos for major and independent record labels.
