From Spotlight to Search: How CMarie Productions Powers Curated California's Local Business Spotlight

The Story Behind the Spotlight


Curated California is Orange County’s own digital magazine, business directory, and social media hub, created to shine a light on the best local people, places, and experiences.


But the magic behind the camera? That’s CMarie Productions.


Curated California is actually one of our clients. That means every business featured on our platforms benefits from the Hollywood-quality production, marketing strategy, and storytelling that have helped us generate over 40,000 organic Instagram views, without a single paid ad.


Why Video Is the Game-Changer


In today’s crowded market, the businesses that win attention are the ones people can see, hear, and connect with emotionally.


Our spotlight videos are designed to:

  • Capture attention instantly on social media.
  • Build credibility and trust with potential customers.
  • Keep working for you, living on your website, YouTube, Google Business Profile, and social feeds.


Creating a video that reflects the quality of your business is one thing; getting it found by the right people is another. In addition to production, we offer cutting-edge SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) services, ensuring your content is discoverable not just on Google, but also in AI-driven search results on platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other generative engines.


Full Video Spotlight Styles

We offer two dynamic ways to tell your story:


1. Hosted Segment

We narrate and guide the viewer through your business with a professional voiceover, weaving in the story and details you want to highlight, perfect for a polished, third-party perspective.


Here is an example we did for Old World Village in Huntington Beach:


2. Interview Feature

We put your owners, managers, or team members in the spotlight, letting your personality and passion shine through on camera.

Here's an example of an Interview Feature we did for Dukes in Huntington Beach:

CMarie Productions Testimonials:


"Working with CMarie Productions has been nothing short of transformational for our foundation. From the very beginning, Cassandra took the time to truly get to know us - not just as an organization, but as individuals.


That personal connection made all the difference. It allowed for a level of authenticity in the content that reflects exactly who we are and what we stand for. She’s been by our side every step of the way - from our annual golf events to intimate behind-the-scenes moments - always with an eye for detail and a deep care for the story being told. She captured moments we didn’t even realize were significant until we saw them through her lens.


What stood out most was her ability to see a vision for us even when we couldn’t quite see it ourselves. She helped us build confidence on camera, supported us through camera shyness, and made the entire process feel easy, natural, and empowering. Our videos don’t just look beautiful - they feel like us. That’s rare, and it’s because of the trust, time, and heart she’s invested into our mission.


We’re incredibly grateful to have CMarie Productions as part of our extended team."


-The Matthew Silverman Memorial Foundation



"Working with CMarie Productions was an incredible experience from start to finish. I have been working with Cassandra for personal and professional filming/ production for years!


Cassandra’s eye for detail, creative direction, and technical expertise behind the camera brought my vision to life in ways I couldn't have imagined. The production process was always smooth, professional, and delivered on time, every single shot was thoughtfully composed, and the final edit was flawless.


Her ability to capture emotion, tell a compelling story, and maintain high production quality throughout truly sets her apart. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-tier video production with a personal touch. We'll definitely be working together again!"


-Brittany Santiago



"I have worked with Cassandra and her team over the years, and will do my best to convey how essential she is to ANY creative goal you may have.


She has a knack for helping you conceptualize what your vision is and channel that through the lens and into the market in a way that you are authentic and purposeful.


She is incredibly efficient, trustworthy, reliable, and determined. I cannot wait to work with her on my next venture."


-Carlina Baldonado
