River Ridge is a 2012 dramatic web series created by Tyler Ford and co-produced by Ford and lead actress Signy Coleman. The series was described as "the interwoven kaleidoscope of the residents of a small east coast town and their familiar and relatable circumstances."[1] The series was announced in 2010,[2] repeatedly delayed,[3] released in January 2012 and lasted for six episodes of 11 minutes each.
The series features dramatic, real-life stories such as strained familial relationships, young love, prejudice, economic hardships, and mental illness. The goal of River Ridge, Ford explains, was to "create a patchwork of interconnected stories."[3]
In a July 2010 interview, co-producer and lead actress Signy Coleman revealed the “impending” production of River Ridge.[2]
Nearly a year later, in May 2011, production had only resulted in a trailer.[3] At that time, co-producer Tyler Ford stated that in many ways River Ridge was inspired by his own experiences growing up in New Castle, Delaware.[4]
The first episode, which ran 17 minutes, was posted to the web in January 2012, followed in consecutive weeks by five more 11 minute episodes. Production ended, and the series did not return after February 2012.
River Ridge is set in the fictional east coast town of River Ridge and is filmed on location in the historical town of New Castle, Delaware.
