About Campfire Studios
Campfire Studios is a Los Angeles film and television production company founded in 2014 by producer Ross Dinerstein. Its work spans investigative documentary series, feature documentaries, scripted television, narrative films and audio storytelling. The company develops projects from their initial concepts through physical production and post-production delivery, combining creative development with production management, archival research and technical finishing.
Documentary and premium nonfiction programming form a substantial part of its output. Its productions explore criminal investigations, cultural movements, business controversies and personal stories across both episodic and feature formats. Projects include The Way Down: God, Greed, and the Cult of Gwen Shamblin, Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults, Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty and The Innocent Man. Feature documentaries include WeWork: Or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn, The Lost Sons and A Glitch in the Matrix.
Scripted and audio storytelling
The studio’s scripted work includes the Emmy-nominated Netflix comedy series Special, alongside features such as the Stephen King adaptation 1922, Rattlesnake, The Package and Players. Its slate also includes We Bury the Dead, a survival thriller starring Daisy Ridley. These productions extend its work into comedy, drama, horror and high-concept thrillers.
Campfire also develops audio documentaries and narrative podcasts, including original investigative programming and companion productions that extend documentary subjects into audio. Its production capabilities encompass packaging, showrunning, line production, post-production supervision, archival licensing and clearance management, as well as book and intellectual-property adaptation.
Wheelhouse Entertainment acquired a majority stake in the company in November 2019. Campfire continues to operate as an autonomous production brand within that portfolio, retaining its creative leadership while drawing on broader financial backing and cross-platform infrastructure. Its distribution and commissioning relationships span streaming services, broadcasters and audio platforms, including Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, FX, CNN Films, Peacock, Audible and Spotify.
