Who are we, anyway?
Originally called RoyaltyInCode, Menlo Lights is an independent company located in central Kentucky - dedicated to the satisfaction of our customers and bent on being a game changer. Founded in January of 2013 by Josiah Stendel (lower right), we produce high-quality products and services that are both creative and unique. We collaborate with local designers and artists to help bring some of our bigger projects to life and in doing so, offer only the most professional content to you.
Our productions have won many awards world-wide. Two consecutive Promote Awards at the First Tech Challenge, Award of Merit at the Best Shorts Film Festival, and Audience Selection at the UPIKE Film Festival, and Finalist Best Action Film at the world's largest short film competition - just to name a few. We work efficiently at competitive rates to make sure your project gets done the best way at the best price.
What's in a name?
Originally, our focus was to create websites and applications (hence, the "Code" part of RIC) as well as promotional videos. However, recently, we've shifted into doing exclusively video production (promotional videos, short films, commercials, testimonials, etc). As a result, we've re-launched our business as Menlo Lights. Our thoughts behind the name are these: "Menlo" - Menlo Park was where Edison invented the light bulb. For us, Menlo stands for innovation. "Lights" refers to many things: ideas, inspiration, and physical production lights.

What do we do?
Do you own a business? Do you need exposure? Do you have a family? Are you human? If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, you qualify as a potential client. We are a freelance videography business. In English, that means that we make videos for you. Whether it's a commercial for your Fortune 500 business or a music video, we can help you from beginning to end. Not convinced? Let us convince you.
Why would we do that?
I know what you're thinking. "There are HUNDREDS of businesses doing this! Why choose you?" Well, what makes us special is the way we work with our clients. From the beginning concept to the finishing touches, we keep you involved every step of the way and make sure that it's YOUR vision, not ours, that makes it to the big screen. Before hitting the record button, we walk you through the production process and develop a game plan. We don't just film commercials or events - we film stories. And today we want the honor of telling yours!
