ABOUT ME
GEmini Film Studios was founded by Ryan CHANG, an internationally recognized experimental filmmaker whose work bridges myth, psychology, and modern pop frequency.
Ryan’s creative philosophy follows Takashi Miike’s fearless adaptability—the ability to stay fluid with time, budget, and circumstance while still summoning visions that feel epic, emotional, and alive.
Influenced by Maya Deren and Paul Sharits, Ryan treats technique as vocabulary—rhythm, light, and color as grammar for emotion itself. Echoes of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s mysticism and Stanley Kubrick’s precision shape the architecture of his images: sacred, symbolic, and exact.
He values the tools of the past—16 mm film, practical light, physical texture—alongside the cutting edge: advanced color grading, drones, GoPros, and real-time editing environments. For Ryan, these aren’t trends or toys; they’re forms of communication, new ways to express archetypal ideals beyond plot, dialogue, or conventional structure.
His process carries the same intuitive output and relentless flow found in Lil Wayne’s creative rhythm—creation as instinct, improvisation as discipline—balanced by the raw emotional honesty of Fiona Apple, whose work reminds him that precision without vulnerability is hollow. Each project is built in real time, with precision guided by pulse.
As much as he values the experimental, Ryan is equally devoted to the grand, emotional gestures of mythic cinema—the sweeping scale of John Boorman’s Excalibur or the transcendence of The Matrix. He also honors the bright, playful intelligence of films like Bring It On and Legally Blonde—works that channel archetypal joy and transformation through humor and style. For Ryan, those films carry as much resonance as 2001: A Space Odyssey—proof that the sacred can wear many tones.
Rooted in the archetypal insights of Jung, Crowley, and Campbell, Ryan views filmmaking as a form of living shadow work—using the micro of day-to-day life to reveal the macro of myth. His trilogy—Moon in Scorpio, Thoth, and Pisces Rising—traces that journey: descent, revelation, and return. Together, they form a cinematic individuation arc, translating personal transformation into visual language.
From the Spice Girls to The Prodigy, he sees pop culture as modern mythology—a reflection of the collective psyche refracted through beat, color, and image. Through Gemini Studios, he channels all of this into films that are both personal and grand—precision-built, emotionally charged, and mythically alive.
