Ryan is a New York-based filmmaker with a flair for turning subtle, everyday moments into compelling stories with broad appeal, particularly through the universal language of sports. His journey behind the camera began on the sidelines of high school football games in Texas. As he moved on to film and documentary work, Ryan developed a profound belief in the power of empathy, drawing from a tapestry of his own diverse human experiences that would inspire his approach to narratives that resonate deeply and authentically. Educated at NYU's graduate film program, Ryan's foundation in filmmaking is robust, recognized by industry accolades such as the Best Test Commercial at YDA in Cannes for his Nike spot "Buckets". His debut transcends the arena of sports, offering a lens into the human condition and capturing the collective ethos that brands and agencies strive to embody.

He graduated in 2021 with a master's in journalism, with a focus on News and Documentary. He also has a bachelor of arts degree from NYU Tisch in photojournalism. With funding from the Fund for Investigative Journalism and as a migration fellow with the Ground Truth Project, William created a 30 minute documentary examining the Trump administration’s controversial choice to continue detaining asylum seekers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Most recently, William was awarded grants from BAFTA and the Fund for Investigative Journalism to explore how the U.S. Border Closure has impacted transgender asylum-seeking migrants in Mexico’s dangerous border cities in the midst of Covid-19.

Here's a preview of the content published with The New Humanitarian—selected for IQMF Amsterdam and Tulum WE film festivals. William was also a Great Big Story Genesis student fellow, one of four students globally awarded an opportunity to create a short film.

Safico, 68 years-old, has been fishing with one particular dolphin, Caroba, for 45 years. Safico goes to great lengths to both protect and uphold the tradition of fishing with dolphins. With funding from National Geographic, his documentary, Daughters of Drought, investigated how Malawian women are impacted by climate change.

His video journalism is currently featured in Time, Teen Vogue, The GroundTruth Project, BRIC Media, and Al Jazeera.

I'm a Boston-based filmmaker/photographer.I’m a visual storyteller who thrives on capturing the rawness of real life as it unfolds in front me. Whether it’s across the globe or close to home, the Earth and the humans in it have a story to tell. These stories can be spoken or simply reflected in our eyes, hearts and minds. Through traveling and self exploration in the realms of psychology and philosophy, I recognize the themes of community, survival and resilience that bind us together as humans in this strange reality we find ourselves in.

Cinematography holds a significant place in my journey, tracing back to 1995 when I embarked on my path as a videographer in my home country, Albania. Born as the son of Ibrahim Berdaku, a renowned writer and director in Albania, my upbringing was steeped in the artistry of filmmaking. My exposure to my father’s world ignited a lifelong passion for the cinematic arts. With a rich tapestry of more than two decades in international video production, I take immense pride in my role as a catalyst for amplifying the reach of the brands I’ve collaborated with, resulting in audiences that have expanded into the millions. Serving as the Head of Production at Ajvideo Productions Inc., I have orchestrated a diverse array of projects, spanning from grand-scale affairs like NYC Media, Mediakite, Thom Browne, Prada, Calvin Klein, Ferrari, Sothebys, Phillips, Miu Miu, Proenza, Philipp Plein, Gabriella Hearst, SKY TG24, RAI, Mediaset, and LA7, to corporate gatherings. My innate ability to anticipate and encapsulate fleeting, enchanting moments, all while maintaining an unobtrusive presence, sets me apart. Moreover, I possess the unique gift of being trilingual, proficient in English, Italian, and Albanian, which further enriches my ability to connect with and understand diverse cultures and audiences. I am confident that my professional prowess behind the camera, coupled with my extensive experience and unwavering dedication to client satisfaction, renders me an invaluable asset to your esteemed production crew.
