Ryan Stone
Creative Director of Lambda Films
For four years, Ryan wrote essays on hot global topics such as Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and the use of rubber suits in Godzilla, which he then traded in for a Ba & Ma in Film Studies. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, some clever chaps invented YouTube and the popularity and potential of online video became an obsession for Ryan. Combining this new-found interest with his love of videography, Ryan founded Lambda Films in 2009 with long-term collaborator Alex Morris. With little business knowledge, Lambda was an exercise in ‘winging it’, and despite the efforts of the world’s failing economy, the company perservered and prospered. Today, Ryan oversees those that are much more talented than himself, ensuring that Lambda continues to thrive and always with one eye on the ultimate goal; a ball pit in the office.

Alex Morris
Commercial Director of Lambda Films
Alex picked up a camera for the first time at the tender age of eleven, filming a range what he thought were innovative, yet hilarious videos in and around rural Suffolk. Turns out they were a bit rubbish, but hey; not one to be discouraged, this interest in film eventually manifested itself and became a full blown career-choice when Alex went to study Film & Television at UEA. It was there that the first chapter in the love story with Ryan Stone unfolded, as they found one another at the Student TV Station. Fast forward a few years, and the dynamic duo hatched the crazy idea to start a business together. And it turns out this fledgling ‘You-of-the-Tube’ caught on and people really were crying out for high-quality online video. Well Lambda’s the answer to that very question. Nowadays, Alex focuses on business development, playing with the Lambda drones and ordering pizzas for the office. Mine’s a Pepperoni Passion.
