Ryan C Furlong

Writer-Director working in long format film and TV. Past credits include dramatic film, TV series, and a number of award-winning commercials and music videos.

My music film THE VAMPIRE, based on a song by Bob and Daniel Lanois (U2, Bob Dylan), was shortlisted for TIFF's “Canada’s Top 10 Short Films of 2007”, invited to POP Montreal 2007, broadcasted nationally on Bravo! and officially selected at EIFF along with my dark comedy THE GIFT (Katrina Devine, Daryl Taylor). Both films were nominated for "Best International Short of 2007" and "Best Short of 2007" respectively. My last film for broadcaster Bravo!, BREAK YOUR BODY DOWN aka DEAD FLOWERS (Tim Gibbons, Kathleen Edwards), was praised by CBC as "Suspenseful, taut and gorgeously shot." Most recently, I wrote, directed and produced an urban docuseries, STREET SPIRITS (2018), which I created, served as Showrunner, and sold (season one) to Bell TV and international distributor, V71.

I have received 4 consecutive music video of the year awards for directing, each video has been broadcasted across North America with regular rotation on MuchMusic / MTV.

I control and manage a slate of projects in active development that includes literary properties, dramatic screenplays and series television (unscripted & scripted) with a focus on crime, thrillers, music, and true stories.
