Ryan Dunlap was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he studied film at the University of Tulsa. [2]
According to Dunlap himself, he made his "directorial debut" at the age of four, having loved to fiddle with his parents' camcorder and filming his surrounding. [3]
After graduating from the University of Tulsa, he produced several short films such as Smugglin and Return to Volition before he wrote the film, Greyscale. [2] His first feature film role was in Brian Shoop's Treasure Blind, playing the role of Alva Battlefield, one of three primary civil war thieves trying to steal a load of Confederate gold. After the role in Treasure Blind, he began to write Greyscale. Dunlap conceived the idea in May 2008, [4] and shooting began in September 2008 and ended in April 2009.

A member of the Tulsa NaNoWriMo group, Dunlap has written a book, entitled The Wind Merchant, to finance Greyscale. He reportedly wrote the book by hand, using a fountain pen and a leather-bound book. A sequel is in development. [7]
In 2016, Dunlap entered JukePop and 1888 Center's Summer Writing Project 2016 and was selected the winner. His manuscript, The Goldfish was chosen for publication. [8]
