Ryan Smith

Ryan Smith is the director and producer of Soldiers of Song, a documentary about music in Ukraine which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and is out now on digital. His previous Emmy Award-winning documentary, NFL 360: Who If Not Us, told the story of a group of football players in Ukraine who, in the midst of the chaos of the Russian invasion, volunteered to protect their families and defend their country. This theme is a thread that runs through Ryan’s filmmaking journey.
