Voto Studios

What Voto Studios does

Voto Studios is a privately held, bootstrapped full-service video production studio headquartered at 736 Fresno St., Parlier, California, founded circa 2014 and operating with 1–10 employees. The company offers end-to-end creative services covering scriptwriting and strategy, live-action filming, 2D/3D motion graphics and animation, visual effects (including practical effects and CGI), post-production editing, in-house audio production with foley capability, and video marketing distribution. A specialty offering, cinemagraphs (moving photos), has been productized and is credited with attracting The Cheesecake Factory as a repeat client.

The business generates revenue from two distinct engines. The primary engine is project-based professional services sold directly to enterprise and mid-market clients including The Cheesecake Factory, IBM, eBay, iHeartMedia, FocusVision, and community colleges Fresno City College and Reedley College. The secondary engine is a self-produced MMA content channel on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram that has grown to 300K+ social followers and tens of thousands of dollars in YouTube AdSense, SuperChat, and Teespring merchandise revenue; this audience also functions as a top-of-funnel client acquisition channel. Distribution is direct-to-client with no resellers, and pricing is project-based and quote-driven with no public rate card.

Strategically, the company has expanded its footprint beyond services into entertainment IP, partnering in 2023 with McDojoLife on a documentary executive produced by Jocko Willink and shopped to streaming platforms, while being repped by one of the three largest Hollywood talent agencies. Founder Alex Ramirez is identified as the lead video director and graphic designer, and the firm operates with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional ownership. AI/ML capabilities are not part of the disclosed product offering; the technology stack relies on conventional Adobe Creative Suite and traditional VFX/animation craft rather than proprietary models.
