About
Auburn, California
Rooted in the foothills. Made for everywhere.
Ridgeline Films is a small, senior studio based in Auburn, California, at the edge of the Sierra Nevada. We partner with brands and agencies that want work with real craft behind it — and real results in front of it.
We pair a filmmaker's eye with an advertiser's discipline: every project starts with what success looks like and ends with creative built to reach it.
