Statement from Ryan:

Thank you for viewing my latest film, "Tristo" - which chronicles the life of my dear friend, Tristan Oliver. This film has been an eye-opening one. Not only have I learned more about the filmmaking process itself, but I have learned more about Tristan and the America he and so many others live in. I hope this film sparks discussion, but specifically, I hope you realize how special Tristan Oliver is as a person.
