One of the most versatile and experienced young filmmakers in the game today. Ryan McNamara, founder of Mackingwell Entertainment and 1 Big Stage, has a long and deep-rooted history across a litany of crafts and trades within the industry that include concept development, producing, art direction, editing, visual effects, and photography.



Following in the paths of current Hollywood heavyweights like Gore Verbinski, Ridley Scott, and Michael Bay, McNamara's initial experience as a production designer and art director for artists like Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, Alkaline Trio, Sara Barielles, Hot Jobs, and many more, has helped truly develop Ryan's eye and ability for creating fantastic mis en scene and imagery.



McNamara's tenacity for personal and business advancement consistently appear within his own directorial and creative efforts as well as Mackingwell's body of work as a whole.

Such rigorous attention to detail and technical excellence can be best identified in his work for Grammy Nominated musician, Wolfgang Gartner's "Illmerica," which is currently up for Best Dance Video at the 2011 UK Music Video Awards.

​

McNamara's already star studded professional career in Hollywood has only just begun, and he will surely be one to keep an eye on.
