Between 1994 and 1998, Ridgewood Thirteen Productions created approximately 20 short films. These films ranged in subject matter from the completely inane (oatmeal splatter flicks) to more audience friendly topics (Star Wars fanatics).

The Ridgewood production group evolved out of collegiate boredom at Brandeis University, a group of buddies that needed to channel their creative angst via Hi-8 video. In the summer of 1997, the Ridgewood Thirteen group began working on their first feature film, a college radio station comedy called Greenmind. The film was a moderate festival success and has established a decent underground video following.

During Greenmind's editing phase, a film called Blake Poopler began initial production. Blake Poopler followed a depressed Boston bartender on his journey to New York City. The film cost almost nothing, as it was shot over three years on digital video and edited in Final Cut Pro. The world premiere of Blake Poopler was featured in the Boston Globe and the Waltham News Tribune in March of 2002.

Wasted Sunshine, the final Ridgewood Thirteen film began production in the summer of 2003. Various technical and personal issues plagued the production of Wasted Sunshine. These problems resulted in a work that didn't represent Ridgewood Thirteen's original narrative intentions. Soon after the completion of Wasted Sunshine, the Ridgewood team decided to shut down the production company and focus their time on individual goals.
