Th Ryan Chadwick Interview

As I grew up, Ryan Chadwick wasn't a filmer I knew through trade as one of those dudes who made the videos I watched as a kid. Rather, I began to learn about him as a colleague and grew to have appreciation for his hard working, no-bullshit attitude that came with a chuckle and a smile. It takes a lot to become a film maker and maybe even more to stay humble with your own work as an 'artist' of any sort.

Throughout the duration of filming for The Shadow Conspiracy's 'What Could Go Wrong?', I viewed Chadwick's ways as a team manager first and a filmer second... yet, his filming never skipped a beat. Responsibilities such as these could weigh on a person, but Ryan does his job flawlessly. At the age of 29 he has been filming for at least 15 years and produced videos all the while, including Arizona scene videos, I Got Work and I Got Work - Strikes Back. Chadwick has been working for The Shadow Conspiracy for the past five years and I have had the pleasure of working with him for half of that time. You can't produce a product like 'WCGW' without an artistic eye and the hard fact of knowing what you are actually doing. Opinions are all over the board about the state of DVD's today but it is important that products like this still come out. And guaranteed, kids will want to know who filmed this one!
