Aaron Ryder is an American film producer. Early in his career, he was an executive producer of Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000) and Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko (2001), and also produced Nolan's The Prestige (2006). Ryder was one of the founding members of FilmNation Entertainment. During his time at FilmNation, he produced Mud (2012), House at the End of the Street (2012), The Founder (2016), Pieces of a Woman (2020), and The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021). In 2016, Ryder produced Denis Villeneuve's Arrival, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination with Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and David Linde. In early 2021, Ryder formed Ryder Picture Company, a film and television production company with a first-look-deal with MGM. Ryder's first production under the Ryder Picture Company banner, Bruiser (2022), premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2022, and the second feature, Dumb Money, is currently in production.
