Fallout Entertainment

What Fallout Entertainment does

Fallout Entertainment (stylized fALLOUT) is a privately held, founder-controlled video production company founded by Bill Fishman in 1984 and headquartered at 3863 Grand View Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90066. The company operates as a full-service production studio with a horizontal service portfolio spanning music videos, commercials and promos, lyric videos and visualizers, animation and VFX, documentaries and behind-the-scenes/EPK content, feature films, television programming, and live concert recording. Its core technology stack combines traditional 2D, 3D, CG, hand-drawn animation, and visual effects with stated adoption of AI animation techniques, with full-service capabilities from concept development through post-production including editing and color grading.

The company's customer base spans marquee music artists (Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Backstreet Boys, Good Charlotte, Michael Bublé, The O'Jays), major consumer brands (Amazon Prime, Ford, Kellogg's, SurveyMonkey), and film/TV projects (Billy Zane in Waltzing with Brando). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based one-time license fees for music video production, film and television production (including theatrical distribution and VOD licensing), commercial/promotional content, and ongoing licensing royalties from its existing content library. The go-to-market motion is sales-led, relying on portfolio showcasing, industry relationships, referrals, film festival appearances, and earned media rather than paid acquisition channels.

Operating with a team of 11-50 employees across a bench of 8+ named directors, Fallout has accumulated 39+ years of continuous operation with award validation including a 2003 MTV VMA Viewer's Choice Award, CMA and ACM Best Video awards, Billboard Awards, a 2025 Academy Award shortlist for Waltzing with Brando, and a 2026 Grammy nomination for Mariah Carey/KAYTRANADA's Don't Forget About Us remix. The business remains founder-controlled with no disclosed external investors or funding rounds.
