Red Canary

At Red CANARY, we are a passionate team of writers, producers, and directors dedicated to creating compelling video content for our clients. Our studio, located in San Luis Obispo, has been providing top-quality video production services for over two decades. Our commitment to creating a friendly and collaborative environment ensures that every client feels valued and supported throughout the entire video production process.

Our journey began in 1997 when Todd Peterson and Noah Stokes started making movies together in their downtown San Luis Obispo apartment. A painting of a red bird, created by a friend's 10-year-old sister, hung on the studio door and eventually became the inspiration for our name. Today, the painting still hangs in our offices, serving as a reminder of the importance of the people we work with every day.
