howdy howdy!

I'm Ryan Nakata, a current political science student @ UCLA who also dabbles in esports and broadcasts from time to time. Also a professional game enjoyer and movie fan.

PAST BROADCASTS

Since I entered esports as a digital content intern in 2020, I've transitioned to focusing on live broadcasting. Here is a few shows I've directed or had an executive broadcasting position in. In addition to this, I've held a development internship role with G4TV, and a broadcast internship with CLG.

  • Westwood Invitational - 2020, 2000+ unique viewers on Twitch.

  • Westwood Showdown - 2021, 10,000 total viewers on Twitch over three streams, 130 live attendees.

  • UCEI - 2021, 2022, 6,000 total viewers over three streams. 200 live attendees in 2022 LAN.

  • CLG Broadcasts - Broadcast producer role in which I TD, produce, and creatively promote shows. Recent expenditures involve rebranding CLG broadcast content.

  • G4TV - Production assistant and creative development intern. Pitched multiple skits and activations.

WORK SPECIFICS

A few screen grabs from shows I have technical directed and produced. In addition, this page includes screens from pitches put forth to the G4TV production team during my time on development.

Digital content videos

In addition to focusing on broadcasts, I also engage in video editing as a side hobby. My youtube channel holds all of my edited projects, with some varying in artistic form (I like to meme). I have also produced video edits for my esports organization that differ from my personal content.

Contact

Feel free to reach out to me via social media or email! Available to discuss anything in further detail, since I couldn't include everything. Open to any business opportunities within production and broadcast, but keeping my door open for any other possibilities as well. Also open to arguing about movies, anime, or video games. Big fan of guilty gear and metal gear.
