Refuge was born in Portland, Oregon—where craft still matters, and doing things the right way has always been the point. What started as a tight-knit studio has grown into a multi-location visual effects company with teams in Portland, Vancouver, BC, and California, supporting some of television’s most ambitious projects.

We build characters, environments, and visual effects of every scale. We’re just as happy painting things out, cleaning up frames, and solving the unglamorous problems as we are creating signature moments. Nothing is beneath us if it helps the show.

Our goal is simple: make our clients’ lives easier. From invisible fixes to bold, story-driven visuals, we bring experience, flexibility, and care to every shot—so productions can move faster, safer, and with confidence.
