Ryan's film "Broken" is the final project he did for the summative elective "Imagining Others: from Strangers to Cyborgs" taught by Marika Preziuso in Spring 2017.

In "Broken", Ryan reflected on his own and his family's bilingual and bicultural background, using a speculative, science fiction lens. His inspiration for this work was the poetry collection "Cannibal" by Safiya Sinclair, which was read in class. 

"Broken" was also presented at Creative Counterpoints 2018: Artists Translate Difference.
