Sawhorse Productions

What Sawhorse Productions does

Sawhorse Productions is a Los Angeles-headquartered, privately-held creative agency and production company that designs and delivers multi-platform content and interactive experiences for major film studios, streaming platforms, and global consumer brands. Founded in 2013 (with a firmographics-listed founding year of 2011), the firm operates end-to-end across concepting, production, post-production (VFX, animation, color, sound), live streaming, and interactive experience build-out on gaming and metaverse platforms including Fortnite, Roblox, Meta Horizon Worlds, Rec Room, and Minecraft.

Core capabilities center on building branded interactive experiences and user-generated content (UGC) strategies inside consumer gaming platforms — a workflow Sawhorse reportedly executes on virtually all PG-13 and under major studio movie releases, with named work on Warner Bros. titles including 'Sinners', 'One Battle After Another', 'Wicked', 'Beetlejuice', 'Dog Man', and 'How to Train Your Dragon'. The agency also produces traditional commercials, social/creator campaigns, live streaming events, and original scripted and non-scripted series for clients spanning entertainment (Netflix, Paramount+, HBO), automotive (Toyota, Cadillac), retail (Walmart), QSR (McDonald's), beverage (Coca-Cola, L'Oréal), fashion/luxury (Burberry, Alo Yoga), and technology (Google).

The business operates as a B2B professional services agency with a project-based fee structure, engaged primarily through agency pitches and direct enterprise relationships. Sawhorse monetizes via production fees, creative service contracts, and interactive experience development deals, with no public pricing and no disclosed recurring/SaaS revenue line. Distribution is direct enterprise sales targeting Hollywood studios and global consumer brands; the firm is bootstrapped with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investor. Recognition includes the first-ever Telly Production Company of the Year award and a 2025 placement on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies.
