RIFFRAFF ENTERTAINMENT produces creative content for commercials, promotional videos, documentaries, animation, short films, and feature films. Additional services include DVD authoring, web and graphic design.
PROMOTIONAL work is something we approach very seriously. For example, we believe that honest yet entertaining subject matter is what future college students are interested in seeing. Most students pop in a recruitment DVD, and 30 seconds later have moved on. Our method is to find a way to connect with students by showing them a picture of the school directly from their future peers.
Examples:
EVERY TIME we make a short film, it is critical for us to see how hard we can push ourselves and find out how much we can learn. Whether the story requires
two actors talking in an empty room or a functional Western town with extras, guns and horses, we consistently produce films that challenge us creatively.
Examples:
COMMUNITY is essential for the collaborative art of filmmaking. We felt that the Moving Image Arts Department at the College of Santa Fe needed a voice. That is why we took 19 of their best student films to the Directors Guild of America and screened them for executives from Paramount Classics, 2929 Productions and Disney. Since the screening, the website has developed a following and all of the films are constantly viewed online. Several of the filmmakers were recently contacted by MTVu to submit their short films to "Fresh Produce," a weekly show that features student films.
