Oracle Films & Video

What Oracle Films & Video does

Oracle Film & Video, Inc. is a privately held, founder-operated video production company founded in 1983 and headquartered at 3309 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, California. The company delivers four integrated service lines: video production and videography (with on-location travel), video editing across four edit bays (three running Final Cut Pro and one offering A/B-roll linear editing for legacy formats), digital duplication spanning DVDs, CDs, VHS, Hi-8, Beta Cam, DigiBeta Cam, BetaMax, MiniDV, and DV Cam in runs from one to 5,000 units, and award-winning film production and direction. It also maintains a catalog of health-issue videos as a niche content vertical. Operations are powered by a legacy stack including Final Cut Pro, Betacam SP editing infrastructure, and physical duplication equipment, with notable specialization in 8mm and 16mm film transfer.

The business is operated primarily through Dennis Passagio, who is the public-facing contact (phone 310-450-6637, AOL email [email protected]) and serves a client base of film and television professionals, Fortune 500 companies, advertising agencies, and arts organizations across the Los Angeles/Southern California market. Pricing is quote-based and disclosed only upon inquiry, with same-day service marketed as a differentiator. The company's go-to-market is sales-led, direct, and relationship-driven, with no detected digital marketing, social media presence, or self-service channels. Notable industry recognition includes Cine Golden Eagle, Copa de Ecoles du Cannes, Learning Awards, and American Film Festival Awards, supporting a 40-plus-year brand reputation in the regional production community.

The company has no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no parent company, no M&A activity, no partnerships, and no management team beyond the principal. Its website copyright has not been refreshed since 2012, and there are no records of new product launches, geographic expansion, or technology modernization since the 1990 service-line broadening that added editing and duplication to the original production offering. The operating model is a single-site professional services firm with a defensive moat in legacy-format expertise and same-day local turnaround, but limited visible reinvestment in growth.
