Film Riot

Film Riot is an entertaining and informative look at making films hosted by independent writer and director, Ryan Connelly.

Some episodes offer how-to guides for recreating Hollywood style special effects. Most of these effects are designed to appeal to the predominantly male viewing audience, including projectile vomiting, making a head explode, and cutting throats. Other episodes give an insight into the film industry by following the production of Ryan Connelly's own movies.

Film Riot is produced by Ryan Connelly’s company, Triune Films.
