Life and career
Early life and career
Ryan Dunlap was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he studied film at the University of Tulsa.[2]
According to Dunlap himself, he made his "directorial debut" at the age of four, having loved to fiddle with his parents' camcorder and filming his surrounding.[3]
Film
After graduating from the University of Tulsa, he produced several short films such as Smugglin and Return to Volition before he wrote the film, Greyscale.[2] His first feature film role was in Brian Shoop's Treasure Blind, playing the role of Alva Battlefield, one of three primary civil war thieves trying to steal a load of Confederate gold. After the role in Treasure Blind, he began to write Greyscale. Dunlap conceived the idea in May 2008,[4] and shooting began on September 2008 and ended in April 2009. It was privately screened in Tulsa in late summer 2010.[2] As of January 2011, he is based in Nashville, Tennessee.[5] Dunlap was reported in January 2011 to have been creating a feature documentary for BrightBulb Entertainment.[2]
He manages his own film production company, Daros Films, with his wife and two of his friends.[6]
Writer
A member of the Tulsa NaNoWriMo group, Dunlap has penned his own book, entitled The Wind Merchant, to finance Greyscale. He reportedly wrote the book by hand, using just a fountain pen and a leather-bound book. A sequel is in development.[7]
