My name is Ryan Wilde and I'm currently a student filmmaker. If you've come to this site looking for bizarre, stupid, and mind numbing movies you've come to the right place

I was born in Layton, Utah, and I lived there for 14 years. My love of films and movies was rooted at a young age when my parents would take me and my sister to the movies every weekend. But what got me into filmmaking is another story that involves Christmas, puppets, bad drawings, and a 5 pound VHS camcorder.

When I was a kid, every year during Christmas all of my relatives would gather at my grandparents house and all of the kids in the family had to contribute a story to this Christmas book my relatives would make every year. I hated it. Not only did I have to copy a story into this book, I had to draw pictures to go along with it. It sucked. At the time I hated to write and to this day I still can't draw (as seen by my logo). Finally at around age I asked my parents if I could make a movie instead of having to copy a story into the book. My parents thought it was fine and I began shooting this weird movie using Toy Story Burger King puppets trying to sneak down to the Christmas Tree one year to find out the true meaning of Christmas. By today's standards it was the worst movie ever produced but to a 8 year old it was better than Star Wars. I premiered the movie on Christmas Eve to my relatives and they all loved. From then on in I was making crappy little movies on a weakly basis.

I kept making movies into Jr. High School. Jr. High is when I got my Steven Spielberg Lego Movie Making Kit and started making stop motion movies. My English class was my only real outlet for making movies. Nothing major really happened during those years.

In 2002 my family moved to Tokyo, Japan, and I started to make movies again. I feel that my time in Japan was when I truly started to find an identity to my films. In High School I discovered digital tools for editing and started to actual write, storyboard, and produce my own movies. High School is also the time in which I just started to think, "Man that's a really stupid idea. Let's do it."

Right now I'm attending San Francisco Art Institute, but I'm hoping to be transferring to another school because I am NOT an experimental filmmaker! Even in this atmosphere I try to keep in mind the reason I make these movies and stay true to making films that are fun to watch.
