Rhyan LaMarr, Red Guerrilla Entertainment’s Founder and President, has served as a creative consultant to major entities including Universal Music Group, Gravitas Ventures, and Clear Channel Communications. His work on digital media, including music videos, films, and television programming, has generated over $40 million in revenue.

LaMarr’s first-rate work as a production assistant and later as an extras coordinator on the film Mr. 3000 back in 2003 landed him additional work on projects that included The Bernie Mac Show, The Apprentice, and That 70’s Show.

In 2013, LaMarr decided to bet on himself instead of waiting on Hollywood to discover him, and formed Red Guerrilla Productions and Say Something Music. Both companies have gone on to develop and produce several films, including the critically acclaimed Restored Me and Canal Street.

Red Guerrilla Entertainment and its writing entity, Reel Stories, are comprised of award-winning teams that have worked on music projects that topped the Billboard Charts and film and television projects that have earned numerous award nominations.

Through all the success, LaMarr’s strong belief system has kept him grounded. His commitment to his faith and his love for storytelling has allowed him to minister through art in ways the faith community has rarely experienced. LaMarr continues to work on thought-provoking visual art and musical projects that have a purpose and that further the faith conversation.
