Four K is currently seeking distribution partnerships for its original content with 4K television and cable networks located in Europe and Asia, as well as with 2K compatible TV networks and within the digital and steaming space in the United States. Additionally, the company is holding discussions with major 4K television manufacturers in Asia about potential future distribution arrangements.

Concurrent with the formation of the new company, Williamson has also announced that longtime entertainment industry marketing and advertising executives Dean Blagg and Martin Gueulette will serve Four K Productions as Creative Consultants. Blagg and Gueulette are experienced within the areas of movie trailers, TV promos, motion graphics, print advertising, and cross-platform marketing campaigns, having worked with every major motion picture studio and television network for nearly three decades.

Four K Productions is also working with Wayne Threatt, a strategic advisor and investment professional with extensive financing experience in institutional private equity and venture capital, as its Corporate Strategic Consultant. In addition, Threatt is also a digital image processing industry veteran, who has fashioned numerous strategic partnerships in the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

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.

Add Blagg and Gueulette, 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.

Through its association with Blagg's company TAO Post Studios, Four K Productions has access to full-service 4K post production technology and services. These

include audio and video editorial, DaVinci Resolve color correction, 5.1 surround sound mixing, 4K mastering, and 3D motion graphics.
