Ryan O'Toole[edit]
Ryan O'Toole (born December 18, 1975) is an American film professional [1]and musician currently living in Seoul, Korea.
He releases music under the band-name Amateur Blonde. His songs have been showcased in several television shows, including CBS’s Extant, Fox’s Minority Report, and AMC’s The Walking Dead. His song “No Worries”, was featured in AMC’s The Walking Dead (“Diverged” Season 10, Episode 21[2][3]). O’Toole is known as a DIY home recording artist and multi-instrumentalist who performs most the tracks in his recordings, similar to Elliott Smith. According to Alex Moore of Diffuser.com[4], his songs range in style and influence from Radiohead's album The Bends to Beck's Sea Change.
Life and Work[edit]
Ryan O’Toole was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1975. He spent much of his youth skateboarding, learning photography, and playing the drums. He attended college at the University of Colorado, where he was a student of Stan Brakhage and Philip Stewart Solomon, and later earned a Masters in Film Editing from AFI Conservatory, where he was a student of Howard E. Smith, Stan Salfas, Danford B. Greene, and Donn Cambern. While at AFI, Ryan worked as assistant editor on AFI Life Achievement Awards for Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro. After moving to London in 2004, O’Toole worked as an assistant editor on the two-part series 4 opener of the BBC One spy drama Spooks, with a plot based around a terrorist attack on London's transport network. Although the episodes were conceived and shot prior in November 2004, their plot mirrored that of the London Bombings of July 7th, 2005[5], and were thus nearly dropped due their “life imitating art” similarities. Ryan continued working on two additional BBC Dramas, The Family Man (2006) staring Trevor Eve and A for Andromeda (2006) staring Tom Hardy and Kelly Riley.
Ryan relocated to Long Island City, New York in 2006, continuing to work in post-production and creating his own films. Ryan's film 'Keep the Home Fires Burning[6]' (2008) combined his experimental filmmaking skills from University of Colorado days with his more narrative based AFI and BBC experiences. 'Keep the Home Fires Burning' played in several film festivals, including the In the Palace Film Festival[7], Atlanta Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and Mill Valley Film Festival[8]. O'Toole was a part of the post production of HBO's "Back on Board: Greg Louganis" 2014 documentary.
