Geoff Ryan is an award-winning filmmaker, artist, musician and owner of Spork Productions.
His versatile style and use of mediums stems from a strong belief that the message is most important and everything else must grow from there. Over the past 15 years his career blossomed from a young artist featured in the Portland Art Museum's "Emerging Artists" exhibit to art directing fashion ads, building a new branding image for Nautica with the "Navigate Life" campaign concept, and directing the feature length motion picture "Fray".
All these avenues have developed a strong understanding of communication through art and film. Whether working independently or with an agency Geoff can take any message and deliver it in a memorable and impactful experience for the audience.
