Big City Experience, Small Town Attitude

From the Yuba's clear water to the quaint mountain charm of Nevada City and the rural farm beauty of unincorporated Grass Valley, Nevada County is one scenic place to live and do business. There's something about life in the country that provides a respite from the stressful chaos of city life, even though most folks work just as hard to make their living. But just because you don't live in the city doesn't mean can't have the best when it comes to video production and marketing services.

About Us

Riparian's founder, Kit Kohler, began his career as a Commercial Producer making local TV commercials at CBS13/CW31. Seeking career growth, he moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to join a Technicolor Company as its Creative Director, designing video advertising and content for some of the biggest corporations out there. After 8 years, Kit realized that while the opportunities for career growth were numerous, he was ready to claim a quieter kind of life, so he returned to his roots, moving to Nevada County and starting Riparian Studios with a vision of providing top-notch creative services to the local community.

OUR SERVICES

Nevada County has an impressively diverse business community, and Riparian Studios' menu of services is built to match that diversity. Whether you're a sole proprietor wearing every hat imaginable or a marketing director from one of the county's many big businesses or non-profits, Riparian is built to scale and ready to help.

 
[Riparian Studios] worked to produce Growing Together, the latest Sierra Harvest film for 2018. Kit nailed all of the basics like seamless and timely communication with us, editing with a very detailed eye while receiving our feedback, and suggesting incredible music for each piece. [...] I’m already looking forward to working with Kit again on another production.
