Creative Production Company RYB Launches out of RED Studios in Historic Hollywood

With a focus on shining a light on new talents in the screen sector, RED Studios has launched RYB. The companies close proximity to the heart of historic Hollywood allows the creative newcomers to have access to unparalleled resources. Headed by industry leaders such Jim Seibel, day to day operations will he run by Jenn Mickelson and Robb Baunoch III.

 

“We are an ego-free production company that produces visual content for brands, artists, and clients across all media,” explains Rob Baunoch III, Managing Director. “A creative playground where all the components of a project can be executed in one place. Given our resources, plus the collective team and skill sets, RYB is able to provide soup-to-nuts service at a superior level.”

 

 

Located on the backlot of RED Studios, RYB, the newly launched production company, aims to bring together the best parts of filmmaking, all in an effort to prioritise the artist and the client. Dedicated to delivering the best quality service within production, the team behind the company consists of a talented roster of directors, including Aya Tanimura, Corey Wilson, Curry Sicong Tian, The Freise Brothers, Jason Bergh, Mike G, Paul Scheer, and Tim Mattia. With their own distinct styles, the arrival of RYB is actively creatively diversifying Hollywood.

 

“RYB gathers artists from all walks of life to create unique, bold, boundary-pushing work in a supportive environment that promotes and fosters collaboration, high standards, and transcendence throughout all forms of visual media,” explains RYB’s Executive Producer Jenn Mickelson.

 

 

With over 35 feature film credits, including Killing Them Softly and The Grey, Jim Siebel created RYB after recognising a lack of fresh directing voices and talents, hoping to segue from short to long form content or features.

 

Baunoch III and Mickelson lead day to day operations of the company, bringing their prior experience on over 100 commercials and music videos. Mickelson, with her background as a line producer, agency producer, and head of production at London Alley, and Robb, with over 15 years spent in the film, advertising and theatre sphere, are joined by a strategic conjunction of talents, including VP of Development Jeremie Guiraud, Controller April Edwards, Co-Founder Jim Seibel, and Co-Founder Danny Tanchauco.

 

 

“Whereas the worlds of film studios and commercial production don’t usually overlap, RYB sits at the intersection because of our strategic partnerships,” says Rob. “Jim’s presence provides a legitimate, organic support system for directors trying to move between short-form content and long-form narrative.”

 

Other members of the team include Jeremie Guiraud, a feature production executive, Danny Tanchauco, Head of Operations at RED Studios, and a strong sales team including  Devine Reps for East and West Coast territories, and Sharon & Perry for Midwest and Texas/Southeast representation.
