Answers from Ryan

Other than your current job, what other job in the entertainment industry do you dream of doing?

My goal is to work in business affairs at a film production company. I feel that my film/tv production background, coupled with my MBA and law degree give me the necessary experience to be extremely successful on the business side of the film industry.
