Ryan Wilford

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago and now rooted in Los Angeles, I’ve been a creative soul for as long as I can remember. My artistic journey started with sketching human figures and storyboarding as a teenager—dreaming up TV shows and movie scripts in my notebooks. These early passions led me to pursue a B.A. in Multimedia Art and an M.A. in Digital Communication and Media Arts. Both degrees gave me a deeper connection to film and storytelling, with my master’s program immersing me in camera work, interviews, and the art of shaping narratives.

In 2021, I made the leap to LA to turn creative ambition into action. A transformative spiritual and mental healing journey in late 2022 shifted my focus inward. That growth became fuel for my first official screenplay, Confidence, which I began writing in January 2023. The story explores themes of self-worth and societal pressure—mirroring my own journey of navigating confidence in a new city.

The first draft of Confidence was completed in July 2024. Since then, I’ve returned to the work with fresh eyes, refining the script through rewrites, editing, and formatting it to industry standards. Now, in July 2025, the script feels complete—ready to stand on its own and make its way into the world.

Today, I’m focused on opening doors, collaborating with like-minded creatives, and crafting stories that resonate, inspire, and challenge perception. For me, storytelling is about more than entertainment—it’s about connection, reflection, and growth.
