				ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING for TV & DOCUMENTARIES "Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand." - Neil Armstrong, Astronaut Backed by an experienced and talented team of directors, writers, editors and producers, founders/filmmakers Mark Cowen and Mark Herzog consistently produce groundbreaking material, always exploring unfamiliar territory and always finding unique creative solutions. HCE's vision of producing entertainment content that stirs imaginations and enlightens souls extends to original productions in television, film and emerging formats. HCE's television division develops captivating programming for non-scripted and scripted television shows, covering a broad spectrum of compelling subject matter and genres including- biographies, current events, pop culture, life style, children, reality and history. HCE also creates television productions for a variety of different networks including, "Innovators"- an hour long special for A&E, "Island Time"- an hour long special for Fine Living, and most recently, a "Grumpies Bail Bonds" pilot currently in post-production for an all new series on CMT.

				Internet Marketing, Design and Development "Anyone can make the simple complicated. Creativity is making the complicated simple." - Charles Mingus, Musician HCE's Internet Marketing department is comprised of a highly talented and resourceful design and production team who've joined forces after years of marketing experience, working together and apart, creating effective online campaigns for both major movie studios and various boutique design studios. In terms of Internet Marketing, here's what we've come to believe: Imitation is for amateurs: We think for ourselves, we trust in our team's combined talents and, as a result, we take pride in unique and compelling design. Netizen's are on the up and up: For those who don't know... a Netizen is defined as, "A person who spends an excessive amount of time on the Internet." It is a well-known fact that the online community continues to grow; worldwide number of Internet users reached nearly 935 million in 2004 and is predicted to break 1 Billion in 2005. Three clicks and they're gone. We are firm believers in the idea that if you have not taken your audience somewhere of interest within three clicks, they're gone for good. Content is king, and an impressive site should load quickly and present content in a compelling yet clearly navigable way. Execution over excuses: Rather than giving each other, or our client a laundry list of reasons why something can't be done - we pride ourselves in being experienced, hyper-creative technological envelope-pushers who are more than capable of troubleshooting and implementing an efficient solution that meets our client's needs and exceeds even the highest expectations. Relying on assets is for rookies: Instead, we are resourceful and eager to create original content when needed. Nothing says quality quite like attention to detail: First impressions are everything. Since the Internet has become one of the primary sources for obtaining information and is often the first place a person is exposed to a property or brand, the overall design and functionality of a web site should reflect commitment, pride and maximum attention to the detail of execution. Ego, who needs it: We aren't saving lives, but we are constantly striving to create exceptional and effective online marketing campaigns. We take pride in the finished product and our client's and audience's satisfaction. Tailor it to the target market: You can have beautiful design, but without a marketing mind behind it that is strategically tailored to each specific project and audience, the design is just another pretty picture lost in an endless tunnel of multimedia.

				SOUND DESIGN “I have always thought it would be a blessing if each person could be blind and deaf for a few days during his early adult life.

We can offer a complete and comprehensive bid built for your film's budgets and needs from low budget independents to large studio sized soundtracks.

We can remove hiss, pops, and clicks from just about any kind of medium as well as re-mix a mono or stereo track so that it can be played back in a 5.1 surround environment.
