Impactful stories deserve bold ideas.
What defines us.
Vision
At Cedar, ideas overflow naturally; the creative is the easy part. That ease is the product of deep talent, relentless curiosity, and a team that never stops sharpening its craft.
Quality
Every frame is thoughtfully considered. We obsess over the details that most people never notice but everyone feels, because that is where trust and craft live.
Sustainability
We build relationships and processes meant to last, partnering with teams over years, not one-off projects, so the work compounds over time.
Full Service
From the first idea to the final film, we handle everything. One engagement, start to finish.
Creative
It starts with a question. We dig into what your audience cares about, find the human story underneath your work, and shape an idea worth building a film around. Concepting, scripting, and creative direction all happen here, before a frame is ever shot.
Production
This is where the idea gets made. Our team runs the shoot end to end: directing, cinematography, lighting, and sound, with the kind of attention to detail that shows up on screen and never wastes your day.
Post Production
Every film gets written three times: writing, filming, and editing. Our in-house studio handles edit, color, and sound under one roof in Birmingham, so your project stays in expert hands from the first cut to final delivery.

Grown in Birmingham
Cedar Creative started in Birmingham, AL. It had its growth spurt here, and our roots run deep.
We’ve assembled a team of “Swiss Army knives”: filmmakers, editors, colorists, and sound designers who give all of themselves to every project.
While we're planted firmly in Birmingham, our work reaches far beyond Alabama.
We partner with clients throughout the Southeast and across the country bringing the same level of creativity and craftsmanship to every production.
Our goal is always the same: to make things that last.
