What Sixteen19 does

Sixteen19 is a private production and post-services company headquartered in New York, founded in 2010, with 11-50 employees. Per the source material retrieved, it operates in the post-production segment of the film, television, and advertising production supply chain and presents as operating under the Company 3 brand (Company 3 Studios Inc.), with an active website dating into 2026.

The company's commercial offering, as reflected in the captured data, is organized around a full end-to-end post-production workflow rather than discrete software products. Services span Dailies processing, Editorial, Digital Transfer and Standards Conversion, Picture Finishing with Color grading, Sound post-production (mixing, sound design, audio finishing), and Virtual/remote collaboration services. Delivery is anchored by a curated roster of specialized artists — Senior Colorists, Colorists, Finishing artists (Long-Form and Advertising), and Sound engineers — who are listed publicly on the company site. Client work visible on the site spans theatrical features, episodic television, and advertising campaigns, with 2025-2026 credits including a Marvel/Sony feature, a Chase Bank advertising spot, and BBC episodic content.

The business model is project-based post-production services revenue, with no disclosed pricing, contract structure, or revenue figures. Go-to-market is primarily reputation- and artist-driven: studios, agencies, and brands engage the firm through its colorists and finishing talent for dailies-through-delivery engagements. The firm has also invested in talent supply via the NExT Pipeline, Apprenticeship, and Summer Internship programs, and has formalized diversity and supplier-diversity initiatives — both consistent with positioning for enterprise and inclusion-oriented procurement requirements in entertainment and advertising.
