Riot House

What Riot House does

Riot House is a French audiovisual creative studio headquartered in Chateaugay in the Auvergne region, with a secondary office in Paris (10 rue Maurice Grimaud, 75018). Founded in 2013, the company operates a 6,000m² integrated production facility that includes three indoor studios, outdoor shooting spaces, a sound and mixing studio, photo and film post-production rooms, a colorimetry suite, a packshot room, dressing rooms, and bathrooms, allowing the entire production chain to be executed in-house. The company employs a core team of approximately 20 creative audiovisual specialists supplemented by a network of freelance collaborators, enabling scalable project staffing.

The studio delivers project-based audiovisual production services spanning films, photography, graphic design, animations, 3D visualization, and sound design. Its client base is concentrated in France and includes enterprise brands and advertising agencies across banking (Credit Agricole), sports (Paris Saint-Germain, Babolat), consumer products (Cookut), healthcare (Hula Hoop, ADHAP, Villaverde), cosmetics (Noreva), construction (Bacacier by Kingspan), and food (AOP Saint-Nectaire). TBWA\Corporate is the most prominent repeat agency relationship, with at least three separate campaigns. Revenue is generated through quote-based professional services engagements sold primarily via direct sales from the Paris and Clermont-Ferrand offices, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

Riot House operates a small brand network beyond its core studio: Kleek (a photographers agency), Timelapse by Riot (a time-lapse production service), and Riot House Loc (a studio rental business monetizing the same physical asset base). The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional investors. Geographic reach is described as international, national, and regional, though concrete operations appear to be France-centric.
