Who we are — Unified Films

Who we are

Best friends and filmmakers, Jon and Ryan have always been natural storytellers. It didn’t take long for them to turn their shared passion into Unified Films. Beyond filmmaking, they’ve been in a band together for years, and their wives are best friends too—talk about being deeply involved (or should we say, Unified?).

This unique bond, combined with their complementary filmmaking skills, distinct perspectives, and years of experience, is what sets them apart. When clients choose to work with Unified Films, they’re investing in a dynamic duo that brings unparalleled creativity and dedication to every project.

"It's not just a job to us, and you're not just a client. You're a partner in creating something extraordinary. Whatever we collaborate on, we bring our passion and wealth of experience to the table, fully committed to bringing your vision to life."

Ryan

He’s the gentle and wise wizard of Unified, and is likely to be found trekking through the wilderness with Doug the dog in tow, or these days, looking after his boy, Reuben. The road to Unified for Ryan was paved with playing and recording music, teaching at a recording studio and learning the ropes of our craft working on Emmerdale as a boom operator. He's a huge fan of 'The Lord of The Rings' and Italian food.

Jon

Jon comes from a background of lecturing on film & media, and loves to talk and share ideas. More so, though, he loves to tell stories and use his camera to make people feel things. The film Saving Private Ryan convinced Jon that film was the best way to do that, and so a lifelong passion began. As well as a love for singing, songwriting, and acting, Jon is also an avid gamer, and is excited for the day he can pass the second controller to his son, Jude.
