Rideback

Background

Rideback is the production company of Dan Lin formed on December 12, 2007 as Lin Pictures after he left Warner Bros. He didn't use a logo until 2014, when Forever debuted on ABC. In 2018, it was renamed to Rideback, in order to focus on filmmaker collaboration. The company name comes from the Old West that refers to helping a fallen rider back on a horse.
