Baron Ryan (@americanbaron) on Making His Feature Film 'Two Sleepy People'

Baron Ryan, also known as @americanbaron on ⁠TikTok⁠ (2.9M) and ⁠Instagram⁠ (1.3M) is a writer and filmmaker who rose to prominence making short films on the internet that wrestle with life, love, and the meaning of it all.

At the end of 2024 Baron released a collection of short stories called ⁠A Comedy of Nobodies⁠, his fiction debut that traces a fall semester in the lives of four typical but unforgettable university students.

This interview was recorded on Saturday, April 19th, 2025, exactly one week before Baron premiered his debut feature film, Two Sleepy People, at the Camp Film Festival in Austin Texas.
