    #10 - Why We’re Here: 15 Years of Rooster Teeth

    S4:E2

    Why We’re Here: 15 Years of Rooster Teeth provides unprecedented access inside Rooster Teeth, the pioneering studio behind Red vs. Blue, RWBY, and Achievement Hunter. Founded in a spare bedroom in 2003, the company’s roots in “machinima”—animated shorts made using video games—found a loyal following before the existence of YouTube, and grew into a supportive community of millions. In the early days, if a community member made something cool, Rooster Teeth hired them. This community of like-minded fans has allowed Rooster Teeth to keep moving forward, creating podcasts, original series, feature films, and massive live events around the world, bypassing the traditional gatekeepers of old media. This documentary reveals never-before-seen archival footage from the private collections of the original founders and explores how the company and community have grown over the last 15 years.
