The music IS the story.
From documentary to indie narrative,
every frame gets the frequency it deserves.
"Every frame deserves a frequency that makes you feel before you think."
Ryan Amani is a music supervisor, producer, and creative whose work spans independent narrative film, documentary, and emerging media. With a refined ear for emotional subtext and an unwavering commitment to authentic storytelling, Ryan brings something rare to every collaboration: precision married to intuition.
From the streets of Albany, Georgia to the festival circuit, Ryan curates sonic landscapes that deepen character, amplify tension, and linger long after the credits roll. The work isn't decorative. It's structural.
What happens when a community's trust in public health is shattered overnight? Through the power of storytelling, this documentary brings together voices from hospital systems, faith communities, affected families, and social justice advocates — illuminating a historically Black community's journey through the early days of the pandemic. Albany, Georgia: celebrated by Du Bois and King. Still refusing to fracture.
A taut, atmospheric short examining family secrets, intimate tension, and the weight that lives inside domestic spaces. Starring Victoria Ogbonna, Ethan Daniel Corbett, Eric J. Black, Becky Birdsong, and Byron Brown Jr.

A man is bothered by the presence of a fly. As he takes increasingly drastic measures to kill it, he slowly loses touch with reality. A psychological short where sound is the weapon and silence is the threat.
A queer woman caught between her past and her present — navigating the emotional residue of love, identity, and the versions of ourselves we don't quite know how to leave behind.
A Black lesbian web series that goes all the way in on friendship, self-discovery, and the kind of comedy that only lands because the truth behind it is so damn real. Fresh, alive, and overdue.
Nikita reconnects with her college crush Tess at a friend's wedding — and suddenly her long-term marriage doesn't feel like the whole story anymore. When Tess slips away from the crowd, Nikita follows. A quiet, charged film about the courage it takes to be honest with yourself, even when the timing is terrible.
Song licensing, clearances, sync placement, and editorial music direction across narrative film, documentary, and branded content. Every placement is structural — nothing decorative makes the cut.
Producing from development through post — logistics, creative collaboration, and holding space for directors' visions to fully actualize. Specializing in independent and short-form narrative.
Character development, story development, and bringing a multidisciplinary creative sensibility to projects that need both rigor and heart at the table at the same time.
