Stories that
move you
and move you
to act.
A studio at the intersection of world-class storytelling and world-class research — creating films, games, and live experiences about the questions young people are already living. We will tell many kinds of stories. All of them matter.
Meet young people
where they live.
Our audiences don't wait for a film to come to them. They're in Roblox at midnight. They're watching YouTube in the back of a car. They're scrolling before school. They live in a fractured, high-speed world facing the biggest questions of their generation — and that's exactly where we show up, with fiercely entertaining stories that spark internal shifts and external activation.
Three principles.
Every project.
We create franchises, not films.
We see the story through the same prism our audiences see their world. Roblox. YouTube. Netflix. YA novels. Merch. All of it is part of how they connect with, explore, and take action around a story and its core themes.
"Release The Beast" isn't a film with a game attached. Rage Fighters isn't a game inspired by a film. They are two entry points into the same living world — designed to be experienced together, in any order, on any platform.
We prize genuine entertainment.
We make things that young people connect to and want to play and watch — using all the tools of great storytelling. Character. Stakes. Emotion. Surprise. Beauty.
Impact that doesn't entertain first isn't impact. It's homework. And kids can tell the difference. We don't make homework.
We drive impact.
Our stories are designed to give the audience a way to transform themes into action in their lives. Not passive consumption — personal agency. Not awareness — activation.
Every Ryzo franchise is built with a clear answer to the question: after experiencing this, what can a young person do differently? That answer shapes everything — the story, the game mechanics, the live events, the take-home resources.
One world.
Every platform.
The Ryzo Franchise Model starts with a theme that matters — something young people are actually living through — and builds it out across every medium where they spend their time.
The film makes them feel it. The game lets them practice it. The live events let them talk about it. The guides help the adults in their lives support it. And the merch lets them carry it with them.
This isn't marketing. It's architecture.
Rigorous research.
Real outcomes.
Every Ryzo franchise is developed in active partnership with world-class researchers. Not as a validation exercise — as a creative constraint. The research shapes the story, the game mechanics, and the activation model.
We want to move kids emotionally. That's how stories work — and it's the only way we get real impact. But we also want to move them measurably. Those two things aren't in tension. They're the whole point.
