Treasure State Studios

Welcome to the official YouTube channel for Treasure State Studios. We're a brick and mortar studio located in Missoula, Montana, co-owned by John D. Nilles & Richard Davenport. We're on a mission to build a vibrant film community in Montana, believing the future of filmmaking here should be led by local voices.

Join us as we pull back the curtain on our projects. You’ll get an exclusive look at the entire filmmaking process—from the initial spark of an idea to the final cut and distribution. Watch as we bring our sets to life, explore the challenges and triumphs of production, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of our original content.

This is your front-row seat to see how we’re working to shape the future of filmmaking in Montana.
