Hello there! I’m Ryan Viray, an amateur screenwriter who loves cinema. I’m a bit reserved and thoughtful, but I’m excited to introduce myself and connect with others. It’s been about 20 years since I last held a camera or wrote anything because life kept me busy with work and health. Now that things are steadier, I’m thrilled to dive back into my passion, share stories, and collaborate with amazing people. Just being part of this community already feels like an excellent new beginning. Wishing everyone a joyful day and lots of creative energy!

Maurice Vaughan Fantasy is always fun to write, and I've written war genres too. Sometimes it's fun to mix and match.

Never too late to get creative... or come back to it. The other week someone on S32 shared a story of making their first film in their 60s.
