Ryan Heppe

Producer

What I’m Looking For:
ACTION, HORROR, and THRILLER content in the FEATURE FILM and SCRIPTED TV/MINISERIES formats.

About me:
Ryan E. Heppe is a feature film producer, development executive, and screenwriter. Ryan was partnered with legendary film producer David Foster (The Getaway, Short Circuit, The Mask of Zorro) from 2010-2015. He is currently developing a remake of SHORT CIRCUIT as well as adaptations of the T.J. HOOKER television series and the CRASH RYAN comic series, which he is also writing. He’s also set to Executive Produce BRAVADO, a cop thriller at Paramount.

Previously, Ryan was President of Production at David Foster Productions, and was responsible for co-developing Foster’s slate of films including THE THING (2011), THE FOG (2005), THE CORE, HART’S WAR and COLLATERAL DAMAGE. In total, Ryan spent more than fifteen years working alongside the legendary producer.

During those rare moments when he’s not developing a new project, Ryan can be found doing voiceover work in both radio and television, teaching screenwriting for the Film Connection, and working as a freelance story analyst helping those who hope to break into the business get their material in the best shape possible. He also spends a great deal of time at his home edit bay putting together professional grade home movies – which he calls “memories” — of his children.

“I love a good story. Always have. Regardless of genre or medium, there’s no better feeling than taking a germ of an idea and transforming it into a powerful narrative filled with excitement, emotion, and great characters. I’ve never lost my excitement for the process, and I pray I never do.” – Ryan E. Heppe
