Why work with me
On the ground in Asia
Fifteen years building a vetted network: crew, art, makeup, locations, fixing, translation. The experience to make a hard, ambitious shoot actually happen, and the structure to run it directly, so you skip the agency-chain markup.
Any story, any style
From high-key commercial gloss to moody, emotional narrative. The constant was never a single look. It's the craft and judgment to serve the vision, whatever it asks for.
A partner, not a hired hand
A creative force with a voice, not a pair of hands for rent. I'm there to win the project with you. "It can't be done" is where the good part of the conversation starts.
Bringing a production to Asia?
I can run the whole thing on the ground: crew, locations, logistics, and the shoot itself, as your single point of contact. No third and fourth agency each taking a cut. You work straight with the person making your images.
How I work with foreign teams →The person behind the camera
I'm Ryan Potts (Rynos), a Canadian Director/DP based in southern China. As a kid I was the new face in a new town every six months. I learned early that home is something you carry, and that you can build something good with almost anyone, almost anywhere. Twenty years on, that's still the job: drop into a new place, a new crew, a new story, and make it sing.
