WERZ is the Fresno-based creative agency for Central Valley businesses. Our team plans, films, edits, and packages footage for websites, paid ads, social media, recruiting, sales, and community campaigns — and the same studio builds the Next.js sites and runs the marketing those videos plug into.
The strongest Fresno projects connect local context with a clear business use. We run commercials, corporate videos, testimonial interviews, event coverage, drone video, and photography across the Valley, then turn the production day into a reusable content system that lasts the whole year.
Local proof: WERZ founder Sebastian Werz built 1971 Hook, a Hudson Valley hot sauce now stocked at the Fresno Whole Foods (650 W Shaw Ave) — part of a 45-store launch across NorCal, Boise, and Reno. Same agency, same playbook, applied to your brand.

FAQ
Common questions.
How much does video production cost in Fresno?
Video production in Fresno typically ranges from $3,000 for short social content to $25,000+ for broadcast-quality commercials. WERZ provides transparent, scope-based pricing — contact us for a free estimate tailored to your project.
What types of video does WERZ produce in Fresno?
We produce commercials, brand films, social media content, product videos, corporate videos, real estate walkthroughs, and event coverage in Fresno and the surrounding area. Every project is shot on cinema-grade equipment with a full crew.
How long does a video project take?
Most projects take 3–6 weeks from kickoff to delivery: approximately one week of pre-production, one to two days on-set in Fresno, and two to four weeks of post-production including editing, color grade, and sound. Rush timelines are available.
Does WERZ shoot on location in Fresno?
Yes. We travel to Fresno for every shoot and handle all location scouting, permits, and logistics. We bring our full production package — cinema cameras, professional lighting, audio, and crew — directly to your city.
Does WERZ only do video, or do you offer other creative services?
WERZ is a full-service creative studio. Beyond video production, we build custom websites and handle digital marketing — so you get one partner from concept through distribution, without managing multiple vendors.
Where is WERZ based?
WERZ is headquartered in Fresno, California. We work statewide — from the Bay Area to LA to the Central Valley to San Diego — and travel for the right project.
Do you charge travel for shoots outside Fresno?
Travel costs are quoted transparently when a shoot requires it. Most California projects within driving distance can fold travel into the production day rather than a separate line item.
How does WERZ price video, web, or marketing work?
Pricing is scope-based, not template-based. We define deliverables, audience, locations, crew, and revisions before quoting — so the budget reflects actual production needs rather than a pre-set tier.
Can WERZ work from a fixed budget?
Yes. A fixed budget works best when deliverables, locations, revision rounds, and timeline are clear before production starts. We will tell you what is achievable inside the budget rather than promise more than the scope supports.
Are there ongoing retainers, or only project work?
Both. Most marketing and web programs run as monthly retainers (strategy, content, optimization). Video and brand projects are typically scoped per engagement, with optional content retainers for ongoing assets.
