When not cutting social content for his fellow countryman Chris Hemsworth, Lachlan Ryan is writing and directing up a storm. At 23, Lachlan wrote, produced and directed the theatrically released sporting comedy REVERSE RUNNER, executive produced by Stephen Herek (director of MR. HOLLAND'S OPUS). It was distributed nationally on all home entertainment platforms and was the highest grossing film of all time… at Colac Cinema, which may or may not be Lachlan’s home town (pop. 12,457).

Lachlan most recently wrote, produced and directed the short DOG DATE AFTERNOON, a family comedy premiering at Heartland’s Indy Fest. He previously directed the Screen Australia funded BIG CITY, which moved hearts and minds at Tribeca, LA Shorts, Urbanworld, Short Shorts, Austin Film Festival and MIFF (as part of the prestigious Accelerator Lab for emerging directors). Lachlan also co-wrote and directed the season finale of ANTISOCIAL, a high-concept lowbrow web series that amassed more than 10 million views online.

During his time as Drama Development Manager at The Film Company (LITTLE FISH), Lachlan associate produced the Australian family comedy ODDBALL, working closely with Practical Pictures' Craig Perry and Sheila Hanahan Taylor (FINAL DESTINATION, AMERICAN PIE) to create a box office hit. He has been a shooter-producer at WTFN Entertainment (one of Australia's largest independent production companies) and has won multiple festival awards for his shorts.

Alongside his film projects, he has three chickens, two golden retrievers, and one daughter in development.
