About Us

Rust Belt Studios is an independent film company based in Michigan. Founded by Kellan Petronski, Hayven Baarson, and Luke Lenzinger. We specialize in original ideas only achievable through the lens of the American Midwest. Our stories strive to capture the beauty and terror of the Midwest through real locations and practical film shoots. We strive to put out nothing but the best we can offer. We have premiered two short films, “In The Jaws Of Darkness”, and "Return to The Jaws of Darkness" which released 5.14.26 and 10.29.26.
