Ryan Tan (born 1 August 1988) is best known as being the co-founder of Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) alongside his ex-wife Sylvia Chan. He left NOC on 19 January 2022, and now runs a new creative firm called Overkill Singapore, that was previously known as Get Lost. As of November 2022, the Overkill Singapore YouTube channel has 49.3K subscribers.[1]

Background

Early life & family

Ryan Tan was born in Singapore on 1 August 1988. During his teenage years at Kent Ridge Secondary School, Ryan's studies were affected by the souring relationship between his parents. He was also involved in a gang and had been arrested on one occasion.[2] After completing his secondary education, Ryan enrolled in the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) but left after six months.[3] Subsequently, he worked as a model and dabbled in model management.[4]

Early career - Business ventures

After completing his National Service, Ryan ran the food and beverage (F&B) franchise New York New York.[5] He also set up Shi Wei Tian at Joo Chiat Place[6] which eventually closed down due to high rental costs and manpower issues.[7] In an interview with Adrian Tan that was published in 2016, Ryan shared that following the failure of his two businesses, he was at "rock bottom" when Sylvia suggested that he pursue videography.[8] Additionally, the failed business ventures had left him in debt.[9]

Personal life

Marriage to Sylvia Chan (2010)

Ryan first met Sylvia when they were both modelling part-time at 16 years old.[10] They were friends before they started dating. Feelings developed between the two when Ryan helped Sylvia to confront her ex-boyfriend who owed her money at the time.[11] In an interview with Cheryl Fox for On The Red Dot, the couple shared that they got together the very next time they met. According to Ryan, Sylvia had left a perfume bottle at his house on purpose as a set up for their next meeting. He only came to know of the plan on their wedding day through a mutual friend.[12] The couple got married in 2010 when they were both 22 years old.[13]

Professional partnership

Following the failure of their first business, the two decided to explore making videos professionally.[14] The duo's first paid video assignment was a funeral montage. They had then gone on to produce videos for weddings and corporate events. During this time, Malaysian YouTuber Dan Khoo was their main supporter as he had taught them the ropes of the YouTube industry.[15] Although Ryan and Sylvia are divorced, they remain as business partners and continue to work closely at NOC.[16]

Divorce (2020)

Sylvia and Ryan divorced in March 2020, citing differences in personal goals and a lack of space as the main reasons for the split.[17] The pair announced their divorce on YouTube on 31 May 2020. They shared that the mounting pressure of having to be both business partners and a married couple was what lead to their current position. The YouTube video has since been removed.

On 11 June 2020, Ryan was featured in a YouTube video by Titan Digital Media alongside JianHao Tan titled "How is Ryan dealing with the Divorce?". In the video, Ryan shared that he's "excited" and looking forward to his future life post-divorce.

Relationship with Cherylene Chan (2021 - Present)

He is currently in a relationship with Cherylene Chan, an influencer with Titan Digital Media.[18]

Career

Overkill (2022 - present)

Ryan set up a channel aimed at creating cinematic travel vlogs, Get Lost, in November 2021, but only posted the first video in June 2022.[19][20] As of October 2022, the channel has amassed around 43,400 subscribers and more than 2 million views.[19] Get Lost also features several ex-colleagues from NOC that Ryan has maintained close friendships with, including Franster Wong, Michelle Tan and Rao Zijie.[21][22] As of November 2022, the channel and business has since been re-branded to Overkill Singapore.[23]

In terms of services provided, the Overkill Singapore website states that they offer Content Curation, Cinematics Video Production, Advertising and publicity and Community Engagement.[24]

Belly Empire (April 2021 - present)

On LinkedIn, Ryan is also the Chief Marketing Officer & Co-founder of Belly Empire, a Food & Beverage service in Singapore which operates Xin Mei Xiang Lor Mee at Old Airport Road Food Centre.[25][26]

Night Owl Cinematics (2012 - 2022)

Aside from being the lead videographer, Ryan's role in NOC ranged from being in charge of video edits to executing NOC's social media campaigns.[27] Ryan and Sylvia first posted videos on YouTube in 2012 while trying to hone their skills for scripted videos. Unexpectedly, one of their first few videos titled 'Shit Singaporean Girlfriends Say' went viral. Following their rise in popularity, they became full-time YouTubers with their own production company called Night Owl Cinematics in 2013.[28] NOC officially shut down their YouTube in September 2022, and all previous videos hosted on the channel no longer exist.[29]
