Mad Sin Cinema produces record-breaking movies by Shane Ryan-Reid (aka Shane Ryan)
Shane's films have been shot on as little as $10 budgets, in tight and speedy shooting conditions with less than a day to conceive and shoot the entire production while other times taking nearly a decade to shoot a film for experimental purposes. He's tackled numerous controversial subjects, while also flipping to the lighter and more entertaining side with 1980's adventure throwbacks, zombie thrillers, as well as dramatic coming-of-age stories, true crime and more. Shane's films always secure distribution and make their way into major retailers, film festivals and movie theatres. His films have received glowing reviews by the Los Angeles Times, MTV, Film Threat, Mr. Skin, Film School Rejects, Rue Morgue Magazine, Starburst Magazine, Flickering Myth, Bloody-Disgusting, Shock Cinema Magazine, and even by the Wu-Tang Clan. They've been screened in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Denver, Austin, Seattle, Detroit, Portland, Sedona, Atlanta, New Jersey, Ft. Myers, Cleveland, San Francisco, Miami Beach, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Nashville, Honolulu, Milwaukee, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Boston, Spain, England, Japan, Canada, Germany, South Africa, Iceland, Australia, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Mexico, France and more. His productions have been featured in Entertainment Tonight, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, Delirium Magazine, Today, Senses of Cinema, TalkTV, Associated Press, Fox News, ABC, NBC, Wall Street Journal, CNN, CBS, Sky News, NPR, Fangoria, Scream Magazine, New York Daily News, New York Post, Parade, IndieWire, The Daily Beast, IGN, San Francisco Chronicle, Globe Magazine, LA Weekly, Daily Mail, The Independent, Digital Filmmaker Magazine, The Daily Telegraph, AV Club, Penny Blood Magazine, Collider, The Wrap, Newsday, Ultra Violent Magazine, UPROXX, The Sun, Goregasmic Magazine, Video Librarian, VideoScope Magazine, Deadline, Variety and many more.
