About Spoke Lane Entertainment

Spoke Lane Entertainment is an independent film and television production company, animation studio, and graphic novel publisher founded in 2007 by writer, director, and producer Ryan Patrick Colucci. Its work spans live-action features, animated shorts, illustrated books, and original graphic novels, with a particular interest in crime stories, science fiction, and animated westerns.

The company connects filmmaking and publishing through original intellectual property and visual storytelling. Its capabilities include development, screenwriting, production financing, physical production, animation direction, storyboarding, visual development, editing, motion graphics, and animated title sequences. Its animation work combines traditional hand-drawn techniques with digital illustration and computer-generated backgrounds.

Film and animation

The studio's productions include the short film 4.2.3., the music-driven film With You, and the crime thriller Suburban Cowboy. Released in 2017 through Uncork'd Entertainment, Suburban Cowboy features animated opening titles by Zsombor Huszka. The studio also created Orient City: Ronin & The Princess, a 2017 animated short that brings together samurai and spaghetti-western influences.

Spoke Lane co-produced the science-fiction feature Beyond White Space, released in 2018 through Vertical Entertainment. Across these projects, the company brings together live-action production and animation capabilities within a transatlantic operation based in the United States and Hungary.

Graphic novels and developing projects

Publishing has been part of the company's development since its early years. Harbor Moon debuted at Comic-Con International, followed by the psychological science-fiction graphic novel R.E.M., written by Colucci and illustrated by Huszka. Its publishing catalogue and development slate also include Chasing Rabbits, Chasing Dragons, Bulderlyns, and Android Rising.

As of November 2026, the studio's developing projects include Andover, a hand-drawn animated science-fiction feature, and A Very Merry Krampus, an animated holiday short and illustrated children's book. These projects continue its practice of developing stories across moving-image and printed formats.

More about Spoke Lane Entertainment

Leadership and creative background

  • Ryan Colucci leads executive and production activity. He studied at Hofstra University and USC's Peter Stark Producing Program.
  • Partner and creative director Zsombor Huszka leads animation and illustration. His background includes architectural engineering, study at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, and competition as a Hungarian national fencing champion.

Operating model

The company was established as a lean, creator-owned vehicle for developing original intellectual property and insulating individual projects. In a 2017 interview, Colucci described himself as its sole full-time employee. Production scales through project-specific freelance teams, including animators, colorists, storyboard artists, and film crews.

Publishing collaboration

Spokefish was a historical joint publishing imprint created with Mike The Pike Productions for projects including R.E.M. and early development of The Skin Trade. It was a cooperative banner rather than another name for Spoke Lane Entertainment.
