Some stories sell. Some stories speak. We make the ones that do both.
At Red Oni Productions, we believe cinematic storytelling shouldn't be reserved for studios or streaming platforms. Every brand, every artist, and every cause has a story worth telling — and it deserves to look and feel like film.
Founded and led by director Michael Redd, Red Oni is a story-first video production company based in Tucson, Arizona, serving clients across Phoenix, Los Angeles, and beyond. We specialize in narrative filmmaking, branded content, and stylized visual effects — always crafted with bold visual language, emotional clarity, and directorial precision.
We approach every project with the same intent: to make something memorable. Whether it's a commercial spot, a short film, a docu-style portrait, or a social campaign, we bring cinematic structure to every frame — guiding each piece from concept to post-production with a filmmaker’s mindset.
Our work is built around trust, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence. We aim not just to deliver polished content, but to create visual work that leaves an impression — something with form, feeling, and purpose.
At Red Oni, we don’t just shoot. We direct. We design. We tell stories that stick. Because the right story, told the right way, can do more than inform — it can move.
