Meet Miguel Barillas and Rachel Unnever of Full Riot Productions in Long Beach

Today we’d like to introduce you to Miguel Barillas and Rachel Unnever.

Miguel and Rachel, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
Working in advertising for over 16 years provided me the knowledge that I needed to get out and do what I love on my own time.

I consider myself a creator with expectations to produce excellence for every client, but most importantly, I love to help people so I founded Full Riot Productions with the vision of helping others in mind.

I’ve been traveling throughout the country working with the Hispanic and the general market, allowing me many, many more opportunities to grow and to learn from others.

Today, not only I’m a creative director with the freedom to do what I love, but a hope to others in need, and that’s what I love…

Has it been a smooth road?
No, it has not been a smooth road, but nothing is. Life gives you obstacles not because they are impossible to accomplish, but because we can learn from each of those struggles and makes you a person with a higher drive to accomplish and to always keep moving forward no matter how big or small the obstacles or challenges.

For me, one of the biggest challenges was to make a decision to continue working in advertising without the need of alcohol. We all love happy hour, but I made up my mind and decide to extend my happy hour 24/7 to a life without the need of any substance that will affect my performance or my decisions.

So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Full Riot Productions story. Tell us more about the business.
Full Riot was founded to break barriers, shatter expectations and produce excellence. We don’t consider ourselves innovators. We consider ourselves creators. We specialize in the creation and production of Video Productions, Commercial and non-Commercial Photography, Motion Graphics, Animatics, 3D, 4D, CGI and Logos.

The difference is in our people. Reachable 24/7 and very detail oriented, we listen first and then create. Our expectations are to blow yours out of the water and deliver a superior product in a timely fashion. Let us bring life to what you believe in.

What set us apart from others is integration, integration, integrations…

We strive to achieve synergies of objectives and strategies among market segments, and understand the benefits of a fully integrated plan.

What are your plans for the future? What are you looking forward to or planning for – any big changes?
We are always reinventing ourselves and always learning new technology. We see our company preforming better and better every year and diving deeper into the Social Media aspect of this growing industry.

Technology grows, we grow. In the next 5-10, we see our self-expanding in the northern area.
