Surly Urchin Studios has been our go-to film company since 2010. They have done multiple videos with us, from edited live footage to narrative short films and full-on, highly produced music videos. Ryan Rehnborg can take your vision, and help turn it into something even more spectacular than you had imagined. His dedication to a project is mind-boggling, as he works at a steady pace with professionalism and efficiency, while allowing you to enjoy the entire process too - it’s both reassuring and contagiously inspiring! I have always felt in good hands with Surly Urchin Studios.

I worked with Ryan and the Surly Urchin Studio folks on my award-winning short film HAPPY NEW YEAR, MR. KATES! Surly Urchin was with me every step of the way, too. From their outstanding, creative editing, to special visual effects, to seamless pickup shots after the film was assembled, Surly Urchin was absolutely outstanding. They did so much more than “technical” work on the film — Ryan has a fine sense of performance, and storytelling as well. Assembling a movie is all about making the right choices, and Ryan has the nuanced eye of a working director.
