Director Biography - Ryan Gibeau

Ryan Gibeau is a film director and singer/songwriter.

Leading the charge with ROCK*iT FiLMS, a production company founded by Gibeau, he has directed commercials and narrative branded content for companies such as The Northface, TomTom US, Verizon, HP, Reebok, and Pandora. His music video for ‘Dirty Night Clowns’ for musician Chris Garneau merged the worlds of detailed marionette’s in the veign of ‘Team America’ while paying visual homage to the likes of Tim Burton, Gibeau’s favorite spooky and quirky storyteller.

As a musician, Gibeau wrote the song “Between Two Fates” for the musical. With the production minds of Marcus Bagala and Will Melones and the singing and violin talents of Andrew Meyer, the track grew from an infant vampire / vampire slayer song to a full grown, matured and confused adult version. In January 2017, Gibeau will release his single off his upcoming album, ‘Room Gets Hotter’.

Gibeau is a resident of Brooklyn, NY and has been performing and directing since his arrival in 2009.

Director Statement

Directing The Hunted: Encore was such a unique and exciting project for this reason: all the worlds we combined each came with lots of rules, and generally, as a director, I care very little about rules. Sometimes they exist for a very specific reason and should be respected, other times, the bad times, rules force you to do what has been done before you.

Ned Donovan's concept and writing basically created a brand-new genre so we encouraged ourselves to live without rules. What genre even is this?! Comedy? Musical? Drama? Action/Choreography? The decision to Capture this through the lens of a documentary filmmaker in a single ongoing shot allowed us to work through such a big concepts on a tight budget but also forced us to be very thorough in our execution and creativity.

To say that I, as the director, had any kind of majority influence on the hunted series would be an overstatement. This was an amazing collaboration between script writers, song writers, actors, music producers and the filmmakers alike. Try to find another series this ambitious, executed this well, and with such diversity of style, and I guarantee you'll find nothing else.

Enjoy our show!
