RAVENSVIEW FILMS IS...
Danial J. Smith & Kendra Ruczak
We’re a Bay Area/Los Angeles based independent production company specializing in weird and beautiful CINEMATIC MUSIC VIDEOS, COMMERCIALS, and SHORT FILMS.
We started Ravenview Films in 2015 but have been inseparable since 2005. We’re originally from Northern California and after 16 years in LA it was time to get back home! We relocated to Oakland in 2022, and have been hiking almost every day since (so many incredible trails)! In addition to our narrative/commercial filmmaking, we’ve branched out into shooting a select few wedding documentaries each year.
Using our years of Hollywood knowledge and experience, we guide every project like we’re back on set in LA. We love to push ourselves creatively and strive to bring unique images to life. Whether you come to us with an already formed concept or you have absolutely no idea what you'd want (you only know you want something AWESOME!), we can handle it all. From pre-production to final delivery, you can count on us to create a CINEMATIC work of art that will exceed your expectations!
So, if you're looking to make something amazing and unforgettable then we're your kind of people!
