New L.A.-Based Production Co. to Specialize in 4K Content

LOS ANGELES: Four K Productions is a brand-new outfit that is dedicated to the development, production and distribution of original broadcast content shot and post-produced in the 4K/Ultra HD format.

Its first production, Mix:LA, has already been completed. The company will soon announce its full slate of original programs in development.

Currently, the company is looking for distribution partnerships for its original content with 4K networks in Europe and Asia as well as with 2K-compatible networks and within the digital and streaming space in the U.S. There are also discussions with 4K TV manufacturers in Asia about potential distribution arrangements.

Four K Productions was founded by Kevin Williamson, who serves as president. Dean Blagg and Martin Gueulette are working with the company as creative consultants. Four K Productions is also working with Wayne Threatt, a strategic advisor and investment professional, as its corporate strategic consultant.

“We have nailed down the 4K work flow, and we consider ourselves adept in the creation and production of original 4K content,” Williamson said. “We are committed to this new and emerging technology, and realize that we are among very few competitors who really understand how this format works. In addition to producing our own content, we are also seeking to co-produce programming with partners, and we are also open to financing interesting new 4K projects that are pitched to us from the outside.”

Blagg and Gueulette added, “After having worked in long-form editorial with Digital Kitchen, Kevin saw the future as being the 4K format, and approached us to help him launch this amazing new company. We are huge proponents of the 4K format—it simply looks incredible. We are convinced the marketplace for this new format is just around the bend. It’s coming. You just can’t go wrong with the quality of this content.”
