What we do
Brew. Drink. Create. Repeat
It’s not just our mantra it’s how we make great work happen.
Our
approach
is
straightforward:
we
prioritize
the
creative,
collaborate
with
the
team,
and
focusing
on
delivery
premium
content.
As
a
small
company,
it
means
we’re
all-in
every
project,
every
frame,
every
step
of
the
way
from
pre-production
through
post.
To
push
creative
boundaries,
we
work
with
leading
Freelance
Directors
and
Photographers
from
across
the
globe,
ensuring
each
project
has
the
strongest
vision
behind
it.
Creativity
is
the
fuel,
controlled
chaos
is
part
of
the
process,
and
coffee…
well,
it
keeps
us
moving.
We
take
the
work
seriously
but
not
so
seriously
that
we
can’t
laugh
at
the
idea
of
a
jittery,
over-caffeinated
robot.
Who we are
Coffee: Because adulting is hard
and caffeine is legal.
CHRIS
RUIZ
Chris’s production journey started with no contacts, no shortcuts, and a 27-hour music video shoot that earned him his first real paycheck—and hooked him for life. He cut his teeth as a PA on commercials, indie films, music videos, and network shows like CSI: Miami and The Shield. From there, he moved up the ranks, AD’ing a a handful of fun blow-em-up, shoot-em-up late night b-movies of the early 2000’s. (He’ll happily send you a trailer or three.).
His tenure at Rhythm & Hues Studios is where it all clicked. He discovered a passion for the fast-paced world of commercials and branded content, the creative pressure of tight turnarounds, and the satisfaction of making every frame count. Since then, Chris has worked across Super Bowl spots, global campaigns, documentaries, and quick-turn around social media shoots; collaborating with top agencies, production companies, and brands of every size.
He’s calm under pressure, collaborative by nature, and knows how to keep things moving when it counts. At Coffee Robot, that experience is brought to every project. At home, he’s just Dad—outnumbered by his 6-year-old daughter, a way-too-clever husky, and a wife who keeps him laughing (and grounded).
