Tunnel, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based company that utilizes its strong technology focus and unique creative approach to create and deliver high-end media content, including feature films, television programs, live events, commercials, music videos, and trailers. Founded by Kyle Jackson and Alan Pao, TUNNEL started as a solution to one post production related problem and has since grown in both physical size and scope tremendously over the last 5 years to reach beyond post production to all aspects of the TV and Film Industry. In 2008 TUNNEL expanded the operation to over 18,000 sq ft of post production space between their Santa Monica and New Mexico offices.

During a period in the industry marked by struggling studios and production companies, reduced availability of capital for content creation, and shifting means of content distribution, TUNNEL has managed to gain market share and grow revenues consistently year over year. TUNNEL's focus is on developing a suite of complementary, technology and financial-based service businesses that streamline and make sustainable the creation of Film and TV content.

TUNNEL POST. the post production arm of Tunnel Inc, was originally formed in response to the exorbitant cost of digital intermediate and color correction for the independent film market in 2003. With their partners (Silicon Color, AJA, and Apple), TUNNEL helped pioneer hardware and software that was so successful that it was ultimately bought by Apple and was re-launched at NAB 2007 as "Color," a new addition to the Final Cut Studio Suite of software. The sudden drop in cost for high end post-production led to a surge in film and television contracts for TUNNEL POST. Utilizing an aggressive business plan, TUNNEL provided digital film services on over 25 features in 2006 alone, and has worked with nearly every major network, record label, and studio in Hollywood. Their success has been keenly noted, and has helped to contribute to a paradigm shift in the post-production industry.

TUNNEL has continued its tradition of innovation by working with a couple select partners to make the post process easier and more readily available to films of all sizes. From helping to invent a DI platform that ushered in a new wave of feature film finishing to constantly pushing the boundaries of every application we use, TUNNEL quietly stirred up a storm in the post production industry.

TUNNEL also parlayed their success in post-production into opportunities in film production and financing. Maximizing their dollars through the strength of their vertical integration, TUNNEL has produced over 12 films in the past 4 years. Through their finance division TUNNEL plans to actively participate in funding 8 projects in the next 2 years ranging from $2 to $20 Million per project.

Branching out overseas, TUNNEL has dealt with a number of international governments in coordinating production efforts around the globe. In just one instance in February of 2007 TUNNEL gained exclusive access to some of China's top talent. As a result, TUNNEL produced Fusion 2007, a ground-breaking, two-day concert that was aired by Hunan TV to over 220 million viewers in China. Grammy award winner Gnarls Barkley joined Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and an all-star selection of Chinese artists, led by Jackie Chan, on stage in Las Vegas, to ring in the Chinese New Year.

Having done business and managed productions all over the world TUNNEL certainly realizes that the entertainment industry has quickly become a global community. With more and more content being produced for local markets BY local markets, TUNNEL is always working side by side with partners around the world to push forward a global environment for more sustainable content creation and distribution.
