Firebasket Entertainment Group

Firebasket Studios (previously RaGE-Typewriter) is an American animation studio, television and film production studio based in Stamford, CT. It is a subsidiary of RaGE Media Group and Typewriter Productions. It launched in the summer 2015, although RaGE Media and Typewriter Productions have been working together since 2008.

On August 19, 2017, RaGE-Typewriter rebranded as Firebasket Studios. On January 14, 2020, it was announced that Firebasket Studios will be rebranded as Firebasket Entertainment Group on February 1, 2020.

History
RaGE Media Group (under their subsidiary RaGE Media USA) has been working with Typewriter since 2008 when they took over Mystical Entertainment's Anime block on Vision. RaGE Media Japan also produced Xelphos Adventures and helped produce the dub with Funimation. Then, RaGE Media decided to create their own show, That's Convenient. In 2015, RaGE Media Japan and Typewriter Productions opened up a subsidiary located in Stamford, CT that's in the Typewriter/Vision Working Complex which focuses on original US productions, and co-productions. In 2017, they rebranded as Firebasket Studios and became a more independent production company. While now being more dedicated to their own work, the team still works with Typewriter a decent amount.

In 2018, Firebasket opened up Firebasket NYC, a branch dedicated to broadcasting and other production needs. Later on, more branches opened in California and Canada.

In March, 2019, Firebasket opened up their own channel, Firebasket Network. About less than a year after that, they launched their own OTA network, using the same name as before. Firebasket Network would be rebranded as Firebasket Entertainment Channel.
