Lee Ryan Coston

Lee Ryan Coston was born in the beautiful state of Montana, where she began her media career at the age of 18, working as a camera operator and then floor director for a live talk show and the local news. She moved on to work in radio as a copywriter, disc jockey and then accepted the position of production director. Lee won several regional awards, before she ended up in front of the camera as a television talk show host and local news anchor. This new venture garnered her several awards as "Announcer of the Year" and "Broadcaster of the Year". Looking to broaden and expand her career in the media, Lee moved to Seattle, where she worked at various radio stations as an announcer, copywriter, talk show producer and promotions manager. When the opportunity arose, Lee accepted a position at Boeing Motion Picture and Television. She functioned as writer, producer, director, news reporter, voice talent and actress. For her efforts, she won an ITVA Silver Telly Award for an eight part series she wrote, produced and directed. It was one of Boeing's first video productions using actors and story-lines to train and motivate. Upon leaving Boeing, Lee formed Blue Heron Productions, where she wrote, produced and directed myriad of stage plays, taught acting at The University of Washington and Burien Community Center, all the while continuing her career as a voice talent and actor. After a short break, she set off in a different direction and produced films for Microsoft and other Seattle companies. In 2012, she angled Blue Heron Productions towards Indie films and has written dozens of short, directed several films and continues acting and recording voice overs and commercials.
