Find MO Movies: A New Film Festival Celebrating Missouri Filmmakers
February 12, 2025
We’re proud to share that Tree9 Films is now officially certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners)!
This year marks 10 years since Tree9 was founded—and we figured it was about time to make it official. From day one, Tree9 has been shaped by the vision and leadership of our co-founder and executive producer, Ria Ruthsatz. She helped turn a small team of freelancers into a full-fledged, award-winning production company with national reach and strong Midwest roots.
This WBE certification formally recognizes the leadership that’s driven Tree9 since day one—and reinforces the value we deliver to every client: thoughtful storytelling, collaborative partnerships, and video production that’s as efficient as it is creative.
More than anything, it solidifies what we’ve built over the last decade: a trusted, experienced partner with a track record of results. This certification doesn’t change how we work—it simply puts a name to what’s always been true: Tree9 is woman-led, values-driven, and built to collaborate with brands that care about quality and impact. We bring professionalism, consistency, and credibility to every project—and now we’ve got the official stamp to back it up.
Here’s to a decade behind us, and countless stories ahead.
