Friendly Fire Studios is an independent production company founded by Rob Schneider, making comedy, drama, and unscripted content for the tens of millions of Americans who want something worth watching.
"We're here to make people laugh, tell great stories, and build a business that proves you don't need to preach to profit."
An independent studio built on a simple idea: the best entertainment doesn't preach — it connects.
We make comedy that's genuinely funny and drama that's truly dramatic — the kind of stories that remind people of real life, common sense, and the things that actually matter: family, friendship, freedom, hard work, and having a good time without being talked down to.
We believe the best entertainment makes you laugh, cry, think, and feel something real. That's what Friendly Fire Studios exists to create: honest, entertaining content made by people who actually like their audience.
We're building the leading independent entertainment company for the vast, underserved audience of Americans who value traditional values, wholesome humor, and authentic storytelling.
We're connecting talented creators who want to make real, entertaining stories with audiences tired of preachy, predictable content. We want Friendly Fire to be the name audiences trust — the studio that always delivers something worth watching.
Six principles that guide every project we greenlight and every story we tell.
Stories should entertain, not lecture. We make content people want to watch, not content they're told they should watch.
Content that reflects real life, real people, and real values. No ivory tower perspectives — stories grounded in how people actually live.
Artists free to create without ideological gatekeeping. The best stories come from genuine creative vision, not corporate mandates.
AI-enhanced production, lean operations, smart budgeting. Every dollar is treated like our own, because it is.
We make content for our audience, not at them. Every project starts with a simple question: would we want to watch this?
Family, faith, freedom, hard work — the backbone of great stories and the foundation of the American experience.
Entertainment you can share with the whole family — funny, loving, and heartwarming. The kind of stories built on the principles and values a lot of us grew up with.
Laugh-out-loud comedy the whole family can enjoy in the same room — warm, clever, and genuinely funny, never mean-spirited.
Drama and characters with real warmth — about family, friendship, second chances, and the things that actually matter.
The humor and heart of the entertainment many of us grew up with — timeless values, told for today's audience.
