Gener8Xion Entertainment
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc. was an independent film production company based in Hollywood, California.[1] The company was led by Matt Crouch until mid-2010, with Richard J Cook appointed as the new CEO. [2]
Notable in the company's filmography is the 2006 epic "One Night with the King. Variety praised it as "Blessed with abundant production values and a minimum of campy excess, 'One Night with the King' is a surprisingly satisfying attempt to revive the Old Hollywood tradition of lavishly appointed Biblical epics aimed at mainstream auds [sic]." [3] Roger Moore of the Tribune New Service also praised the film, comparing the visuals as aspiring to the heights of Lord of the Rings on a fraction of the budget: "Filmed at an Indian castle, with digital vistas added to re-create the ancient capital Persepolis, this movie reaches for the scale of “Lord of the Rings” or “The Chronicles of Narnia” at a fraction of the cost. It doesn’t quite get there. But the filmmakers have done justice to a tale that is tribal history, not a supernatural myth. Esther’s triumph isn’t due to divine intervention. It’s her humanity and bravery that make her a legend, and make that “One Night” worth remembering, 2,500 years later." [4]
On October 03, 2005, Gener8Xion Entertainment, Inc. (GNXE), announced it had executed the acquisition of Cinemills, a Burbank, CA-based company specializing in manufacturing of high quality motion picture and studio lighting equipment and accessories. [5] Gener8Xion stated this acquisition would enable it to "enhance its own productions and facility lighting needs as well as the needs of its client base across the globe." [5] Following closing of the transaction, Cinemills, and its respective brand and name became a division of Gener8Xion, serving as "the Company's media lighting equipment manufacturer and sales and marketing office for such related lighting products."
