Hello. My name is Ryan Steel. I am an inter-disciplinary filmmaker from Winnipeg, Manitoba. My art is informed by my DIY work ethic, obsession with hazy analog images, and longtime membership of the Winnipeg Film Group.
I have worked on films by some of Canada's most exciting filmmakers including... Rhayne Vermette (Levers, 2025), Grace Glowicki (Dead Lover, 2025), and Guy Maddin (Stump The Guesser, 2020 & The Rabbit Hunters, 2020).
I recently finished my MFA in Film Production at York University.
I have collaborated on visual work (music video, photography, merch design/printing) with artists including Andy Shauf, Begonia, Living Hour, Boniface, and more. I am also the touring live projectionist for the experimental rock band Fencing.
My short films have played at festivals around the world including ... International Film Festival Rotterdam, Festival Du Nouveau Cinéma Montréal, Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, Vancouver International Film Festival, WNDX Festival of Moving Image, and more.
I'm currently working on my first feature film "Meat" with funding from the Winnipeg Film Group & Telefilm's "Talent to Watch" program.
