About
Built for the Working Actor.
Next Level Productions is a resource for screen actors, commercial talent, and print professionals who want honest, practical insight into the industry. We cover what actually happens on set, in the audition room, and in the business of building an on camera acting and branding career.
Founder & Editor
Ryan Scott Lynskey
Ryan Scott Lynskey is a screen actor with experience across film, television, and commercial work. He started Next Level Productions because the information that actually moves careers — the real audition strategies, the on-set realities, the commercial and print business — was scattered, gatekept, or buried under generic advice. He built this to change that. Networking and growing brands that inspire.
The focus here is specific: screen acting, commercials, and print. Not theater theory. Not celebrity profiles. The practical, working-actor knowledge that helps you book more, earn more, and build a career that lasts. Ryan writes from experience and brings in contributors who do the same.
[email protected]What We Cover.
Screen craft and on-camera technique. Film and TV set life. Commercial acting and print modeling — the bookings, the rates, the agents, the strategy. And the branding and marketing work that makes all of it possible. Written by working professionals, for working professionals.
On-camera first
Everything here is written with screen, commercial, and print work in mind. We don't cover theater for its own sake.
Practical over inspirational
We'd rather give you one actionable strategy than ten motivational quotes. The work is what matters.
Insider access
Our contributors are working actors, casting directors, and commercial agents — not observers. They know because they do.
