Ryan Kane

Ryan Kane is an American film distribution consultant and impact producer currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands. For over a decade in the North American market, he has represented dozens of small-to-large scale independent releases in planning and executing theatrical and non-theatrical release strategy, including 6 Oscar-nominated titles.

Following a two-year career break travelling across the world in 5 continents, he has returned to the film industry with a mission-driven approach in combining his creative distribution background with the field of impact producing — engaging in alternative distribution strategies, key partnerships, innovative marketing activations, and audience engagement. Recent projects include work as an Impact Producer for I Like It Here, which won the International Critics Prize at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, and supporting theatrical distribution campaigns for Utopia, a filmmaker-driven North American distributor focused on truly independent projects, including the upcoming music documentaries Pavements (directed by Alex Ross Perry) and Hung Up on a Dream: The Zombies Documentary (directed by Robert Schwartzman).
