Independent Commercials and Music Video Production Company Formed by The Zalman King Company and Romar Studios, Inc.
The Zalman King Company (ZKC) and Romar Studios, Inc (RSI) announce the formation of DMZ Films, an independent production company that will specialize in high-impact music video and commercial productions. DMZ Films, a joint venture between ZKC and RSI, will produce high-quality productions with a competitive pricing edge. DMZ Films synergizes the power of two dynamic forces to develop highly stylized, groundbreaking projects that will appeal to a wide audience.
The acronym DMZ is derived from the term "de-militarized zone", which "is the buffer zone between two combatants. It came into prominence in the Korean and Vietnam wars and has become modern accepted usage," according to Zalman King Company CEO and film executive David Saunders. DMZ has currently evolved into an Internet-related term that refers to an independent space between the Internet itself and a user's network. Why pick such a name for a production company? According to ZKC and RSI, "DMZ Films represents a protected 'spatial zone' that encourages the free flow of ideas." To the principals involved in this joint venture, DMZ connotes a neutral space where fresh, innovative ideas can be fostered in an environment that encourages creativity and productivity.
