Robot Army Productions

Robot Army is an award-winning production company based in Geelong, Australia, built on the philosophy of putting creativity and innovation first, rather than painting by numbers. Founded by Ryan Chamley and Stu Ross, Robot Army was born from a simple but ambitious goal: to do what they love and make a living from it. Unlike traditional production companies, Robot Army doesn’t wait for funding or approvals—it gets an idea and brings it to life, no matter the obstacles. This relentless approach paid off in 2016 with the release of Rostered On—a completely self-funded comedy series about the hells of working in retail. Using borrowed props, makeshift sets, and working insane hours, the team produced what would go on to become the first-ever Australian independent comedy acquired by Netflix Global. Rostered On amassed over 300 million views across multiple platforms and struck a chord with retail workers worldwide. Season 2 continued its history-making journey as 7mate’s first-ever scripted comedy commission, further cementing Robot Army’s reputation as the company that gets things done. In 2019, Robot Army expanded its creative reach by launching Milk Video, a production company dedicated to crafting compelling brand stories—choosing creativity over soulless catalog-driven marketing. The same flair and ambition that fueled Robot Army’s early success now drive brand storytelling in the commercial world. In 2024, Robot Army evolved once again, welcoming long-time friend and collaborator Michael Hardinge as a partner, bringing his company Momentum under the Robot Army umbrella. Today, Robot Army continues to push creative boundaries, developing original series like My Friend Anxiety and multiple feature film projects. With a commitment to making viral, boundary-pushing content without asking permission, Robot Army proves that creativity should be defined by passion—not by statistics or accountants.
