Who We Are

Cedar Ranch Productions is an Austin-based film production studio led by filmmaker Christian Oliveira, specializing in story-driven content across documentary, scripted, and branded formats.

At our core, we believe storytelling is sacred work made by human beings, not machines. We work with brands, organizations, and visionaries who value authenticity, emotional resonance, and cinematic craft with a human touch.

Whether you need a second pair of eyes in the edit or a team to take a project from conception to delivery, we bring the experience and care to shape work that matters.

Proudly serving Austin and the greater Texas film community.
