In the quirky comedy "I Am Ryan," directed by Carl Jackson and co-written with Hobart, an ordinary man named Ryan embarks on a hilariously absurd journey of self-discovery after a midlife crisis spirals out of control. Ryan, played by Hobart, feels trapped in the monotony of his daily routine, haunted by the nagging question of who he really is beyond his mundane job and relationships. When a series of bizarre events leads him to believe he might be the reincarnation of a famous historical figure, he dives headfirst into a wild quest to prove his identity, much to the bewilderment of his patient girlfriend, portrayed by Joyce Young Kim, and his skeptical best friend, played by Sherif Mohamed Mattar. Along the way, Ryan encounters a colorful cast of characters, including a wisecracking therapist played by Hettie Lynne Hurtes, who challenges his delusions with sharp wit. Blending heartfelt moments with laugh-out-loud antics, this 79-minute film explores the universal struggle for meaning and the chaos that ensues when one takes the search for self a little too literally.
