In December 2010 Ryder wrote and directed his first short film, an adaptation of Mary Grace Dembeck's short story Act of Memory starring Claire Skinner, Owen Teale and Anna Massey which was shot on location in London and went on to be screened at the Cannes film festival in 2011.

In 2012, he provided the English voiceover for Zael, the main protagonist in the video game The Last Story.

2013 saw Ryder became Associate Director of the stage play The Full Monty by Simon Beaufoy, which opened at the Lyceum Theatre Sheffield.

In 2014 he directed his second short film DOG and in July 2015 directed his first red button episode of Casualty for the BBC.

Ryder continues his relationship with The Full Monty as the director of the new touring production starring Gary Lucy which tours the UK through the autumn of 2015 through in to 2017.

Personal life

Ryder married former Hear’Say singer turned actress Kym Marsh in St Albans, Hertfordshire, on 10 August 2002 and, after settling in St Albans, the couple had early difficulties and split for a short while before reconciling. In light of Kym wanting a regular role in north-west-produced dramas and her wanting to be closer to her family, the couple moved to Manchester in 2004

It was announced on 20 March 2008 that Kym and Jack had decided to separate and then subsequently divorced.

Ryder now lives in London and France. He is a supporter of Newcastle United F.C..
