Ryan and Mandy have known each for over 10 years. They met in 1999 on a college travel abroad trip to Central America to study and do service work with sustainable community development organizations in the third world. After 8 years apart, they re-united in 2007, fell in love and embarked on a journey to transition their lives into sustainable community. This movie documents that story as well as what they learned along the way. Their story is all of our story.
Ryan is a professional photographer who attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and was trained by award winning photographer Rachel Balunsat. This professional photography eye and background has greatly influenced his style of cinematography. He also has over 15 years of experience in environmental advocacy work.
Mandy is a trained non-profit fundraising expert who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and coordinated thousands of volunteers for Habitat for Humanity. She has a knack for producing and networking and her background and passion has helped Within Reach raise the money it has.
