Ragtown Originals are the films, and series Ragtown Media creates from Scottsdale, Arizona. The slate includes 30 Years of Magic, a feature documentary on Latin hip-hop artist MC Magic; Hemp Nation, an environmental documentary series on the hemp industry; Instincts, athlete stories that are now in production; Undialed, a freestyle scooter media platform co-founded by Clayton Lindley at Ragtown; and Swatch Nines, an action sports documentary filmed in Tirol, Austria and more.
Originals are why we started. These are the stories we chase, with the same crew and cameras brands hire, and they're the reason the brand work feels like film instead of advertising.
Hemp Nation
Environmental Series · In Production
Hemp Nation is a documentary film exploring the environmental, economic, and sustainable potential of the hemp plant. Filmed across agricultural and production sites, the project examines how hemp can reduce deforestation, restore soil health, and serve as an alternative material in construction, manufacturing, and everyday products.
Produced, directed, and edited by Ragtown Media.
30 Years of Magic
Feature Documentary · In Production
Three decades of music, performance, and cultural impact from Phoenix-based Latin hip-hop artist MC Magic. The film traces his journey from early career to a devoted fanbase across the Southwest, told through live performance footage, personal interviews, and the fans whose lives his music shaped.
Produced, directed, and edited by Ragtown Media.
Instincts
Athlete Story Series · In Production
Instincts is a athlete story series that goes into professional athlete stories that follow their training regiment, life after injuries and more.
Produced, directed, and edited by Ragtown Media.
Undialed
Freestyle Scooter Media Platform · Ongoing
Undialed is a freestyle scooter media platform co-founded by Clayton Lindley at Ragtown Media. It covers the sport from the inside: riding edits, athlete and event coverage like OUTLIT, and scooter documentaries, all shot and cut by people who ride.
Produced, directed, and edited by Ragtown Media.
Forgotten Community: Mexico
Freestyle scootering has its hubs: the United States, Europe, Australia. Forgotten Community goes everywhere else. Created by Clayton Lindley and Will Cashion under Undialed, the series travels to overlooked scooter scenes in Madagascar, Kazakhstan, India, and Mexico, where riders with world-class talent push the sport with none of the industry's spotlight.
What is a Ragtown Original?
A Ragtown Original is a project we fund, create, and own ourselves rather than work made for hire: documentaries, series, and media platforms alike. Every original is produced in-house in Arizona by the same crew behind our brand documentaries. It's how we sharpen the craft we sell, and how stories that don't have a sponsor still get made.
