Nimbus Productions

DB/Clearwater Productions (formerly known as Driest Bar Productions) is an American production company based in Los Angeles, California. It also operates as a live-action division of Clearwater Animation.

Their partners include Amblin Partners, Alcon Entertainment and Dimension Films.

New Earth Labs
New Earth Labs was a production company run and owned by Steve Terrier.

Michael and Edward's Qualified and Twisted Motion Pictures
MEQT Motion Pictures was a production company founded in 2008 by Edward Fowly and Michael Wildshill. Michael Wildshill left in 2016 to focus on his own projects, but the name was still kept in tact.

They also had a division for their animated content, Michael and Edward's Qualified and Twisted Animations, before it was discontinued in 2015, due to Edward losing interest in animation, and the staff being same as their live-action counterpart.

The company was then acquired by Driest Bar Productions, although Edward Fowly was the only staff member to retire from the company at the same time. However, he came out of retirement to become the CEO of DB/Clearwater in 2018.

Driest Bar Productions
Joshua Keaton's Twisted Home Movie Factory, Cainimætik Productions, Blue Witch LP (Wicker, Blumenthal and Chandler) and maXihub decided to merge to form the production company for Loner Campfire's second season and onwards, Driest Bar Productions, after most of the co-creators become best friends with each other. It was also named after a bar they would go for writing sessions with Moore and Dinner (also co-founders, though they continue to produce other projects through their own banners) and Khouri. Wicker and Chandler commented on one of the bar's drinks being "really dry", giving inspiration for the name.

During the production of Season 3 of Loner Campfire, Bryan Cranston, David S. Goyer and Jason Blum announced to join Driest Bar, Blum (the latter) of which will join as an "alternate series producer", only producing spin-offs and "blood relative" series in the Loner Campfire universe.

DB/Clearwater Productions
Driest Bar acquired and merged New Earth Labs, Michigan Picture Company and Evans Limited into itself in November 2017. In turn, Driest Bar was acquired by Clearwater Partners II LLC. They're planning on opening a New York studio soon.

They acquired Mount Moriah, Dr. Goor Productions, Hard Eight Pictures, Idiot Box Productions, Mutant Enemy, Room 101, Fremulon/Schur Films, Devilina Productions, Apostle, G. Raff/Chutzpah and 3 Princesses and a P (formerly 3 Sisters Entertainment), from David Schulner, Dan Goor, James Wong, Scott Gimple, Joss Whedon, Steven Schneider, Michael Schur, Scott Buck, Denis Leary & Jim Serpico, Gideon Raff and James Burrows, respectively. They both continue as labels for the two's solo projects, but the upcoming films will be legally attributed to Clearwater Partners II LLC, as it will hold copyrights and remake, adaptation, franchise and other rights to the whole film library. The people went on to become part of a production team, behind the Loner Campfire universe, codenamed Team Loner.

Along some "young writers" as part of a community-focused program, they hired more writers and producers to Team Loner. In May 2019, the writing team Team Loner was dismantled, with all leaving writers moving to the Xenon/Argon writers room. The people remaining are the Duffer Brothers, Shawn Levy, Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman and Greg Berlanti. Roy Lee and Simon Kinberg spun off the Vertigo Entertainment and Genre Films labels to form as an once-again independent production companies respectively, while Rob McElhenney and Glenn Howerton did so with the RCG Productions label.

The labels Mount Moriah Productions, Dr. Goor Productions, Hard Eight Pictures, Room 101, Idiot Box, 3 Princesses and a P, Devilina, Apostle and G. Raff/Chutzpah merged into a single entity, now called Magnificent Seven Productions.

In May 2018, they received investment from Lionsgate, Media Rights Capital and Lakeshore Entertainment. A year later, Lakeshore and DB/Clearwater ended their partnership over undisclosed reasons.

There have been talks with FX Networks, Lionsgate, HBO Entertainment, JoNo Productions and Amblin Partners (through DreamWorks Pictures) to make film adaptations for the Loner Campfire universe. The announcement was received lukewarmly.
