Director, "Excarnate"
Ryan Schaddelee was born and raised in Michigan, where he developed his artistic ability in special make-up and fx due to his love of all things horror, science fiction and fantasy. He graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in film directing in 1999, pursuing a different path after believing computer generated effects would take over the industry of practical effects. FX and make-up were always a part of his personal projects throughout the years though, and he pursued it more as a hobby until offered a job as the lead fx artist on a horror feature in 2010.
