Today we’d like to introduce you to Gonzalo & Tony Perez & Rockette.
Hi Gonzalo & Tony, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
XO’Lent Studio’s story is one born from shared vision and creative alignment. Founders Gonzalo Perez and Anthony Rockette discovered each other’s work through social media and mutual connections within the creative community. Recognizing a shared passion for film and a complementary set of skills, the two came together with a clear objective — to combine their individual experiences and expertise into a single, unified production company capable of delivering high-quality video solutions at an accessible budget.
Three years ago, that vision took root in the heart of Dallas. What began as a focused commitment to capturing the elegance of weddings and the raw emotion of proposals quickly evolved into a full-scale production operation. As the studio’s reputation grew, so did its portfolio. XO’Lent Studio expanded into music video production, narrative filmmaking, and branded content.
Prior to and throughout their creative journey, both Gonzalo and Anthony have individually accumulated a wealth of hands-on industry experience — working alongside notable names in music, sports, and entertainment, as well as distinguished Dallas-area venues and corporate platforms. That collective experience is what they bring to the table at XO’Lent Studio every single day. Today, the studio stands as a growing force in the Dallas creative market — and by every measure, they are just getting started.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The path to establishing a reputable production company is rarely without obstacles, and XO’Lent Studio is no exception. In the studio’s early stages, one of the most pressing challenges was resource management — specifically, maintaining a standard of cinematic excellence within the fast-paced, high-stakes environments that define live event coverage. Operating in Dallas meant confronting the realities of an unforgiving climate; the team was required to develop rigorous thermal management protocols and airtight data redundancy systems to ensure that no critical moment was ever compromised by equipment failure.
As the studio’s scope expanded into music video production and narrative film, a new layer of complexity emerged. Multi-camera synchronization, timecode alignment, and the demands of professional set environments required the development of disciplined, scalable workflows. There were late nights spent resolving software compatibility conflicts and rendering challenges — each one serving as an investment in operational expertise.
Rather than viewing these setbacks as limitations, the XO’Lent team leaned into them. The result is a production operation defined not only by its creative output, but by its preparedness, composure under pressure, and commitment to delivering — regardless of circumstance.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
XO’Lent Studio is a Dallas-based video production company specializing in cinematic storytelling across weddings, music videos, branded content, and narrative film. What sets them apart is simple — two founders, two distinct backgrounds, one unified vision.
Gonzalo and Anthony have each accumulated hands-on experience working alongside notable names across music, sports, and entertainment. Personally, the two have had the opportunity to work with artists such as Bigxthaplug, KapG, Gavin Copeland, and DeeBaby, NBA guard Tyrese Maxey, and platforms including the Dallas Cowboys, HQ Dallas, Tower Club Dallas, Canvas Bar, and Media Tech — experience that directly shapes the level of professionalism and production quality they bring to every XO’Lent project.
That exposure, combined with their complementary skill sets, is what makes XO’Lent Studio a cut above. Clients get a team that has operated at a high level, in high-pressure environments, with high-profile names — without the high-profile price tag.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
At the core of XO’Lent Studio’s philosophy is a fundamental belief: the most meaningful measure of success is the human connection behind the lens. Technical excellence is a standard, not a differentiator — what truly sets the studio apart is its commitment to the client experience and the relationships built throughout the creative process.
Every project, whether produced for a large-scale corporate client, a rising creative talent, or a couple celebrating their most important day, is approached with the same level of intentionality. XO’Lent Studio does not simply capture footage — it curates experiences, blending light, sound, and emotion into content that resonates beyond the screen.
In a competitive and ever-evolving industry, Gonzalo Perez and Anthony Rockette have built XO’Lent Studio on a foundation of reliability, artistry, and genuine partnership. Their reputation is not incidental — it is deliberately earned, one frame at a time.
