Tucked away in the hills of Birmingham, we’ve built the best of both worlds.
Sound designers have an acoustically treated space with a robust speaker system.
Directors and cinematographers can comfortably screen dailies or a finished film.
Producers have ample workspace with a reference monitor to multi-task.
Suite Specs
Everything in the suite is calibrated to professional standards and built to keep you comfortable through long sessions. Here is what you are working with.
Color
A reference-grade grading environment with top-tier monitors and controlled, balanced lighting, so what you see in the suite is what your audience sees on screen. Built for colorists who need to trust every frame.
Accuracy is paramount to a great color grade. We’ve calibrated our suite to “dark mode” with:
Flanders XMP310 Color Monitor
Blackmagic Design Mini Color Panel
120” ALR Screen with 4K Laser Projector
Adjustable bias lighting for theatrical or web deliverables
1GB/s internet for rapid file transfers
65” client TV in the back of the suite
Computer
Apple Mac Studio
DaVinci Resolve Studio License
Adobe Creative Cloud Suite
Amenities
An expertly comfortable space designed for long days. Ample seating, room to spread out, and the kind of considered details that keep a team focused from the first session to final delivery.
We’ve built our suite to be the most comfortable, exciting room to view your projects in.
Here’s a few ways we make your experience comfortable and productive:
Cozy screening seats for five people. Additional seating available.
1GB/s wireless high-speed internet
Modular conference table with chairs and a video conferencing setup
65” TV for additional monitoring
Private Parking Lot
Mini-Fridge & Coffee
Basketball Goal (the most important feature?)
Sound
An acoustically treated room with a robust speaker system, tuned for honest playback. Sound designers and mixers get a space where every layer sits exactly where it should.
We consulted with GIK acoustics and local audio technicians to curate the perfect environment for designing, mixing, or mastering your project:
Yamaha HS8 & HS5 speakers with subwoofer
2.1 dual Stereo System
Acoustic treatments
4ft insulated bass trap lofts
paneled walls and ceilings to reduce reflections
Baffle above the operator’s desk
Carpeted floors
Dailies
A proper screening setup for directors, cinematographers, and producers to review dailies or watch a finished film the way it is meant to be seen, together, on a calibrated display.
Nothing feels better at the end of a long production day than relaxing in a comfortable space and watching the hard work you’ve put in. Our 120” calibrated projector screen and cozy seating are designed specifically for maximum comfort and enjoyment.

We partner with organizations that refuse to settle.
A period narrative set in the coal mines of Birmingham, ‘Company Man’ tells a story of power and fear that compelled the bold choice in look. Working closely with DP Yann De Moerloose, we crafted a nuanced palette of reds, golds, and greys. We weren’t afraid to lean into the darkness of the story - shadows fall naturally into inky blacks, and precise textural work enhances the naturally gritty characters and setting.
A narrative short for the non-profit Nashville Children’s Alliance, ‘Parallels’ is a story of trauma through a unique lens. We created an intimate, interior look for the piece that morphs as our character changes. Parallel storylines gave a unique opportunity to further heighten different emotions through color.
A kinetic, polished love story between Lamborghini and Bridgestone tires. Precisely lensed by DP Sean Kirby, the film seamlessly flows between adrenaline-inducing racing and a classical art gallery. We leaned into a moody, rich palette that tastefully blends browns, cyans, and the steely greys of the featured Lamborghini, while also creating cohesion across the four different camera systems used.

We had a blast grading this piece about the city we so fiercely love. Shot on the brand-new Fujifilm Eterna 55, we were among the first to truly put this camera’s image through its paces. Gorgeously lensed by local DP Caleb Zorn, we refined and shaped the piece with direct input from both DP and Director, who sat in on the session. An elevated, almost magical look was finally settled on as fitting the tone and title of the film.
