Our leadership brings together four decades of combined experience spanning the creative, financial, and distribution sides of entertainment. What makes Vega Baby unique is our truly global perspective—we bridge Hollywood storytelling with international financing and Asian market expertise, creating a powerful synergy that few production companies can match.

​

Adam Ripp leads our creative vision as Co-Founder and Producer, bringing award-winning filmmaking experience from Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner Public Access to high-profile projects like Gambit starring Colin Firth and Everly with Salma Hayek. His unique background—including actually joining the LAPD to authentically write Beat Cop—exemplifies our commitment to authentic storytelling.

​

Rizal Risjad, Co-Founder and Producer, provides the strategic business foundation as Managing Partner of a prominent Southeast Asian private equity firm. From his family's industrial legacy to his investments spanning telecommunications, infrastructure, and natural resources, Rizal brings institutional-level financing expertise and deep Asian market connections. When he's not structuring deals, you'll find him crafting award-winning wines at his Brave & Maiden Estate Winery in California's Santa Ynez Valley.

​

Ricky Budhrani, Co-Founder and Producer, serves as our bridge between Wall Street and Hollywood as General Partner at Pacific Technology Partners. His dual expertise in cross-border investment and film production (Devil's Whisper, Everly, Induction) allows us to structure complex international financing while maintaining creative integrity.

​

Sheldon Brigman, CEO of Distribution, oversees our market strategy with over 20 years of entertainment experience. From co-founding Level 33 Entertainment to managing releases for everyone from Kevin Hart to Build-A-Bear, Sheldon ensures our films reach audiences across all platforms—theatrical, digital, and international markets.

​

Together, we don't just make movies—we architect global entertainment experiences that resonate across cultures while delivering strong returns for our partners. Our philosophy is simple: combine authentic storytelling with strategic financing and smart distribution to create content that matters.
