About
Ryan Aleck Hill
Founder of Downhill Media
Director, videographer, video editor, and co-writer of Artsplained
Ryan started Downhill Media early in 2018 as a fun way to brainwash the youth of the world and create a cult-like community of sycophants to sell merchandise to. He hopes that one day that Downhill Media will not have to go through a sick middle-man like YouTube and that shows like Artsplained can be directly injected into the veins of hapless viewers.
He currently works as a professional videographer and video editor in the Washington, D.C. area by day and focuses on the channel and his cat Cooper (full name Special Agent Dale Cooper) by night.
