Karen P. Ryan

Poster Master General/Owner

Lured by a love of puzzles and problem solving, Karen fell in love with editing as a student at TCU (Go Frogs!)  For over 20 years, she has honed her award winning post production skills in corporate America, an independent film and television house, and since 2010, as the owner of her own company, Four 3rds Creative.  When she’s not perfecting at 24 frames a second, Karen spends her time torturing her husband and two boys with bad puns and trying to win over the heart of her naughty cat, Shadowfax.


Michael Ryan

Producer/Director/Owner

Michael developed a love of stories perched under Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of cereal.  Eager to get a jump start on his career, he started freelancing while taking film classes at TCU.  (Go Frogs!) A strong desire to see projects through from start to finish led him to form his own company, Four 3rds Creative, in 2008.  Remaining calm under pressure is his super power. Michael enjoys beating his wife at trivia, watching funny animal videos with his two boys and feeding the sugar addiction he inherited from his Irish Grandma.

Ronnie Brazeal

Colorist/Editor

Ronnie is a cool breeze on a hot summer day.  He has been an editor for twenty years, working on commercials and independent features.  Now he’s more like a superhero.  During the day Ronnie is super dad, then in the darkest of night he’s bringing color to drab videos everywhere.  When he’s not creating dazzling video palettes, he’s hanging out with his family and playing a little Wilco on the guitar.

Four 3rds is unique because they work to understand our company and advise and work as if they are a part of it.
