"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."
