New Expanded Facilities

To accommodate K/A/S Lighting's expanding inventory, the company recently moved into more spacious facilities, down the block from its original headquarters at Kaufman Astoria Studios, New York.

In addition to lighting in-house productions currently shooting at Kaufman Astoria Studios, including Cosby and Sesame Street, K/A/S Lighting trucks and generators are seen regularly on-location throughout the tri-state region for film and television projects as well as numerous special events. NBC's coverage of The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The New York Philharmonic's Concerts in the Parks and live outdoor concerts from Lincoln Center are but a few of the exciting entertainment events illuminated by K/A/S Lighting.

Film credits include the likes of Woody Allen's films: Mighty Aphrodite, Manhattan Murder Mystery, and Deconstructing Harry. Other recent film shoots include Double A Films' Hamlet, starring Ethan Hawks, Sam Shepard, Bill Murray and Julie Styles as well as Godzilla, Ransom, First Wives Club, Marvin's Room, The Juror, and Sabrina.

"When they're working in New York, the top directors and producers in film and television today turn to K/A/S Lighting . We work with the best talent in the business. When they call on K/A/S Lighting for their film or television project they expect the best and that's what we deliver, in-studio or on-location,no matter how big or small the job, said Hal Rosenbluth, president of K/A/S Lighting."

000Big Productions - Small Productions

New York's growing independent film market is rapidly becoming another source of business for K/A/S Lighting. As an increasing number of producers discover the wonders of shooting in New York City and environs, they too have turned to K/A/S Lighting for their film work.

"We see the independent film market as a tremendous growth area for K/A/S Lighting," Rosenbluth explained. "The Definite Maybe, another small independent film that we co-produced won Best Feature Film at The 1998 New York International Independent Film Festival. The foreign independent film market is also discovering New York City. We recently completed on-location work for Open City, a Czechoslovakian film that shot here. There's a lot of potential in the independent market, and we expect to become more involved in this area of the business."

000Highly Experienceed Management

K/A/S Lighting's day-to-day operations are guided by Bob Schulman and Mike Spera, two talented, respected and well known industry veterans. "Between the two of them, it's hard to imagine any lighting job they couldn't ace. These two guys are tops in their field," said Rosenbluth. "They've done it all, from The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to Woody Allen's films. In-studio, or on-location, they are a complete lighting resource. Their ability to anticipate needs and service the client at all costs is what makes me proud and the company stand out."
