Earth
An irreverent sci-fi comedy created with Native Foreign: eccentric trillionaire Dash Kincaid leads a ragtag crew of "volunteers" to settle a new world. It's a disaster, but the show must go on for the investors back on Earth.
Ryan developed the premise and characters and wrote the script, working with a team of artists and animators using hand-drawn boards, cast actors, and Adobe Firefly. Beta Earth premiered at the Showtime! Generative AI Film Festival at Adobe MAX 2025 and was covered by Variety and the Adobe Blog.
"A five-hundred-dollar bat can't fix a one-dollar swing."
"Without human creativity in the driver's seat, you won't connect with an audience. We believe our approach to Beta Earth—written, directed, voiced, and drawn by people—is the only way it will truly resonate. I hope this creative-led hybrid framework helps prevent another contraction."
