Ryan Kugler proudly announces the release of his short film “The Question” on YouTube.

When Ryan was 13 years old, he wanted to be a film director and would spend entire summers on studio lots (in L.A.) just to see how movies and TV shows were made. One day, while watching the filming of Cheers, Ted Danson asked Ryan what he was doing on the set, and Ryan told him his dream of directing, so he gave him the opportunity of a lifetime — to make a short film with him and the other cast members of Cheers!
