Ryan Welch, Co-Creator/Writer of ”Ramy” | Film Club #3

For this episode, we’re doing something a little different. We’re hearing from Ryan Welch, one of the co-creators and writers of the Hulu comedy series “Ramy.” He was also born and raised in Alaska!

The series stars comedian Ramy Yousef, playing a fictional version of himself, the son of Egyptian immigrants, navigating life as a young adult in New Jersey.

ATMI senior producer Chloe Chobal spoke with Ryan Welch about working on the show, doing stand-up comedy in Anchorage, and breaking into the film and television industry.

Alaska Teen Media Institute is based in Anchorage, Alaska. We would like to acknowledge the Dena’ina people, whose land we work on.
