Nathan Ryan has been appointed Managing Director of StillMoving, the Cheltenham-based, award-winning film and photography production company.
Nathan first joined the company in 2017 as a photography intern after graduating from university. After completing his internship, he returned to Switzerland to fulfil national service in the Swiss Armed Forces – an experience that reinforced the discipline, leadership, and teamwork that now underpin his approach to production and management.
Following his service, Nathan rejoined StillMoving full-time in 2019 as a Producer and Retoucher, growing with the company as it evolved from a small team in Cheltenham into one of the South West’s leading production houses.
Renowned for its cinematic storytelling and team-driven ethos, StillMoving brings together passionate storytellers who work with local, national and international brands and organisations to create powerful still and moving content.
Over the years, Nathan has worked across every department – from production and post-production to creative and direction – developing a uniquely comprehensive understanding of the business. With credits spanning campaigns for Porsche, Aston Martin, Superdry and Vax, he has helped shape national and global advertising work for leading brands.
As Head of Studio, Nathan played a key role in shaping the company’s Bishops Cleeve studio in collaboration with its design partners, ensuring the space met both the creative ambition and operational needs. His appointment as Managing Director marks a natural progression, as he leads StillMoving through its next phase of growth and innovation.
Nathan Ryan, Managing Director at StillMoving Media, commented, “StillMoving has been a huge part of my life and career. I’ve been lucky to grow alongside an incredible team of people who deeply care about what they do.“
“As we move into this next chapter, my focus is on sustaining our growth while keeping that same creative energy and team spirit that’s always defined us.”
As Managing Director, Nathan will focus on team development, enhancing client experience, and thoughtfully integrating generative AI and podcasting into StillMoving’s creative offering – continuing its commitment to collaboration, innovation, and ambitious visual storytelling.
