Said Williamson, "We are delighted to announce the fact that Four K Productions is one of the very first - and very few --independent 4K content producers to have successfully sold an original television series to a major 4K TV manufacturer. We had to pass rigorous quality control standards to close this sale. We've delivered the first two 30-minute episodes of our new show 'Mix,' and we are hopefully awaiting orders for additional new episodes."
Said Four K Productions' Worldwide Representative Adam Haber, Senior Vice President, Principal Media, Beverly Hills, "We are thrilled to be representing the fantastic 4K series 'MIX.' To be able to license it to one of the largest TV manufacturers in the world says everything you need to know about the quality of this series."
In related news, Four K Founder/President Kevin Williamson was a featured Panelist and Guest Speaker during the recent MIP TV 2014 Conference in Cannes, France. On April 7, he appeared on a session entitled "The New Age of Storytelling," along with co-speakers Giuliano Berretta, President, DBW Communications, Italy, and Norbert H®elzle, CCO Europe, SES Astra, Luxembourg. Williamson also produced a special presentation of his show "Mix" on April 9th at MIP TV's 4K Theater.
