What Monkeyland Audio, Inc. does

Monkeyland Audio, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned boutique audio post-production facility headquartered in a 12,000 square foot building at 1750 Flower Street, Glendale, California. Founded in 1993 by Trip Brock, the company delivers end-to-end audio post services — re-recording mixing, sound editorial, sound design, Foley recording, ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement), and dialogue editing — for feature films, television series, documentaries, and TV movies. The facility operates four re-recording mixing stages (Anejo and Plata Dolby Atmos-certified; Reposado 7.1; Mezcal 5.1), a dedicated ADR Stage with Source Connect and remote iPad kits, and a custom Foley Stage with fixed pits and thousands of props, all routed through Avid (S6 M40, ICON D-Command/D-Control) consoles and ProTools HDX recording. Remote ADR, fibre-channel connectivity, and FTP/file-transfer infrastructure enable global client collaboration.

The business is a professional services operation with project-based, quote-driven pricing and no disclosed subscription or recurring-revenue model. Revenue is generated through direct engagement with producers, directors, and post-production supervisors, primarily via referrals, repeat-client relationships, and industry reputation. The customer base spans the major US streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon/Prime Video, Hulu, Starz), broadcast and cable networks (ABC, Lifetime, Hallmark, Disney, Disney Junior, HBO, Showtime), and independent filmmakers and production companies (MarVista Entertainment, Cartel, plus long-running engagements with directors Gregg Araki and Greg Barker). Marketing is driven by industry awards (5 MPSE Golden Reel Awards, 20+ MPSE nominations across at least 6 consecutive years, 2 Primetime Emmy nominations, 3 CAS nominations, 1 Ariel Award nomination), a year-in-review content cadence, and earned word-of-mouth within the Hollywood post-production community. Monkeyland became a Netflix Post Partner Program member in 2018 and has progressively invested in Dolby Atmos infrastructure through 2016-2019, aligning its service mix with premium-tier streaming deliverables. The company has remained privately held under founder ownership with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or acquisition activity.
