Director Biography - Ryan Rox

Ryan Rox(they/them) is a queer, non-binary filmmaker, screenwriter and actor. They were born and raised in El Paso, Texas, but currently reside in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Rox developed their passion for filmmaking after working as an actor on multiple independent, short films. After witnessing film crews in action and learning firsthand on set, they had the notion in 2020 to write and produce their own short film, which resulted in their directorial debut - 2021’s “Crawl.” Since then, Rox has written and directed three additional short films: “Quiet Hours;” the 2022 El Paso Plaza Classic Local Flavor 2nd Place Winner, "That Tingling Sensation;" and the 2022 Femme Frontera Grant Recipient and Official Selection, "Shipping Them." They now focus primarily on telling queer stories from a queer perspective.
