My name is Ryder Schwartz and I am a creative director based in Southern California. I currently work as an independent Cinematographer, Director, and Editor for campaigns, music videos, and short films.

Growing up in Lake Tahoe, extreme sports dominated my creative pursuits. Infatuated with movement and the natural energy that was ever present in life, I discovered quickly my calling to capture it.

Since relocating to Southern California, I have discovered that my inspiration for visual craftsmanship extends far beyond the outdoor lifestyle. Surrounded by hundreds of musicians, artists, and storytellers of all shapes and sizes, I have learned that my passion for film knows no bounds. There is never a project too far from reach or an idea too daunting to approach. I have truly sent myself spiraling down an endless path of creative uncertainty. How exciting :)
