    Director / Senior Editor
    Backed by Ammunition

    Ryan Vera is a director and senior editor with over 15 years of experience behind the camera. He got his start filming skate videos with friends — a scrappy beginning that sparked a lifelong obsession with storytelling and visual craft. Today, he’s known for creating cinematic work that hits hard and lingers longer — immersive imagery with emotion, energy and edge.

    Ryan has directed and edited commercials for DoorDash, the Atlanta Hawks, and the United States Marines bringing each to life with precision, authenticity and style. Whether he’s behind the lens or in the edit bay, his focus is the same: make it feel real, make it look incredible and make it matter.
