Ryan Lewis, SOC

New on-set nickname for when I get angry.

With all of the rollback of medical services, an outbreak of the Dreamer’s Disease was inevitable.

Lesson learned on set this week. Don’t step to a 4’10” 79 year old triple black belt.

Why was this in a closet on set yesterday? Nobody knows. Such is Mango.

San Diego Comic-Con is one of my favorite weeks of the year. The joy of watching people love things so completely is the best. And getting to share that time with these friends is pretty wonderful too.

It only took an hour to run into a rockstar. SDCC is off to a great start.

Super thankful that I got to bounce back and forth between doc shoots of two of my favorite things this week.

This Colbert news should scare you.

After a few months of research and planning, I’m pumped to start rolling cameras on a new passion project today.

I finally started watching The Pitt yesterday. Didn’t mean to watch five episodes in a day.

I watched the Hot Dog Eating Contest on a plane today, like a true patriot.

Apologies to the woman at ORD who I just did the hardest double take on. I wasn’t staring, I just thought you were someone I hadn’t seen in a few years. 🤷

“You’re doing so much fun stuff, you don’t have time for a wife!”

-Newest addition to the unprompted, backhanded compliment Hall of Fame.

Who among us hasn't accidentally lead their 13 year old goddaughter into Tokyo's red light district while looking for DVDs?

Discovered today that 5am alarms are easier to deal with when a film you worked on is announced as being in competition at Cannes, while getting ready for the day. (Apologies to the sleepy producer who got “full Ryan” at call time.)

And now I’ll be humming I2I on set all week.

Much like Richard Kimble, I just snuck out of my River North hotel before getting caught in today’s parade.

Fourteen years playing hockey with these fools. Hope we can do it again soon.

Looks like the gales of November came really early this year.

Had a great board game night with some friends last night — much like Pandemic, Secret Hitler hits differently now.

One of the most underrated cultural divides in America is between people who know and care what motion smoothing is and people who still don't. The anti-smoothers went for Kamala by 20 points, minimum.

One of my favorite shoots of 2024 was when producers turned me loose to cover the stadium during Hell Is Real - for episode 2 of ONSIDE: MAJOR LEAGUE SOCCER, premiering on Apple TV+ today.

Yep!

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

This afternoon, I drove under the bridge where there was a literal Nazi demonstration a few days ago, 10 minutes away from my house.

There were a few positive signs taped to the bridge and one man, by himself, holding a sign that said “love will always win.”

May we all be like that guy.

Surprise snow day on ALARUM. Great for production value, less so for ease of working and driving home.

Gigantic thanks to Andrew Kunkel, Quinton Jackson and Dan Townsend for this day. And to the angel who pushed my car out of the ditch.

The camera team for THE MASTERMIND at the film’s wrap party.

I’m very lucky to get to play pretend for a living. And even more so to do it with goofballs like these. The camera team for THE MASTERMIND was incredible and I can’t wait to work with each of them again as soon as possible. (Not pictured: Joe, Woo and Sam, who also rule.)
