Executive Production
Structuring, financing and steering projects from development through delivery — keeping vision and budget on the same side.
Producer & Executive Producer
Sebastian Cepeda
Films, series, documentaries and brand stories that travel across borders.
Who I am
I’m a producer and executive producer working between Zurich and Madrid, and open to projects worldwide — feature films, series, documentaries, commercials and brand films.
A third-culture kid, born in Buenos Aires and having lived across Germany, Switzerland and Spain, I’ve travelled through 50+ countries — and that perspective sits at the centre of what I make: stories about different lives, different voices, and different ways of telling them. My projects have found homes with Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, and broadcasters like SRF and ProSieben.
Having worked across many disciplines myself — producing, directing, cinematography, editing, colour and screenwriting — I’m at home with every department. I’ve led teams from 3 to around 150 people, and I know how to adapt to what a crew or client needs.
Along the way I’ve learned that good producing is really about trust, taste and follow-through. That’s what I try to bring to every table.
- Multicultural by nature — I work in Spanish, English, German, French and Italian.
- An “otrovert” — extrovert when it’s needed, introvert by nature.
- I’ll take a deep conversation over small talk any day.
- Off set: nature, photography and a good book.
- Obsessed with the craft: story first, always.
What I do
Production
Hands-on production of film, television and documentary, assembling and leading the right team for each story.
Development
Finding and shaping material, packaging talent, and building the partnerships that get a project made.
Brand & Corporate
Films that do real work — employer branding, product and brand stories built to reach and to convert.
How I work
Technical and creative by nature — my experience taught me to understand both sides of a production, without ever losing the logistics and the budget out of sight.
Negotiation
22+ years negotiating and closing deals — I know how to get a project financed and off the ground.
Leadership
Building the right team and steering it calmly under pressure.
People first
A production works best when the people making it are looked after.
