#217: Ryan Chamley - Anyone Can Do It

Ryan Chamley is a writer, director, producer as well as the
creator of the workplace comedy series ‘Rostered On’ which you
may have seen on Netflix. His production company, Robot Army is
an award-winning production company from Geelong, Australia that
specializes in bringing unique and engaging concepts into
reality.  In 2016, Robot Army produced and self-funded the
7-episode, long-form web series ‘Rostered On’. Rostered On went
on to amass 250,000,000 views online and was acquired world-wide
by Netflix (first Australian independent comedy to be acquired by
Netflix). The second season of the show was also the first
Australian narrative comedy to be commissioned by 7mate. The
success of “Rostered On” helped to establish Ryan as a rising
talent in the Australian film and television industry, and he has
continued to work on a number of other successful projects since
then, including in 2022 revisiting the world of Rostered On for a
third season titled “Counter Girls”. 


Ryan also created ‘Jeremy the Dud’, which also reached a
significant online audience and attracted interest from several
notable production companies and broadcasters and won fans
worldwide for its insight into life with a disability. The
trailer instantly went viral racking up millions of views, also
gaining the interest of TV networks and production companies all
over the world. Jeremy the Dud won best film at the Flicks for
Change film Festival in LA, and the Melbourne Independent Film
Festival. Ryan is currently working on his debut feature film and
exploring the world of animation!
