ABOUT US
Kristen M. Cox
President & CEO
16x9 Productions
Kristen Cox, recognized as an award-winning producer who
specializes exclusively in high definition television (HDTV)
is the epitome of brilliance, technical know-how, vision and
Southern charm at it’s finest. As her clients will attest,
“There’s just a warm comfortable quality about Kristen from
day one that puts your mind at ease, knowing that you will
get exactly what you need to get the job done on time and
with a smile on your face.” Skills and charm like that can’t
be taught. You are just born with them.
As President and CEO of 16x9 Productions, started in
1999, Kristen has produced myriad HDTV projects including: "Texas
Wild" a documentary which has been broadcast nationwide
more than any other documentary in history; “Bridge
Dwellers: The Bats Of Austin,” awarded Platinum Best In
Show for children’s programming by the Aurora Awards; and "Fiesta
In The Sky,” a documentary simulcast in HDTV and NTSC
nationally by PBS. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
As a member of the Consumer Electronics Association’s
Academy of Digital Pioneers and the Academy of Television
Arts and Sciences, Kristen’s experience with a wide variety
of productions on such topics as the Russian space program,
women in sports and a multitude of promotional spots for
technology companies have highlighted time and time again
that this is one girl who’s got the skills and vision
necessary to achieve engaging, cutting-edge, cost-effective
programs. Kristen is currently co-producing a documentary
that focuses on the inner workings of the top-secret Soviet
Space Program from 1960-1974.
Prior to founding one of the leading HD production
companies in the world, Kristen worked for HD VISION, where
she became one of a select few HDTV producers in the United
States. She produced the first live HDTV transmission of a
sporting event: the Baltimore Orioles vs. Cleveland Indians
baseball game for Harris Corporation, seen by over 350
guests at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
But her love for production and television all started
many years ago at KWTX, the CBS affiliate, in Waco, TX.
Here, Kristen honed her television and video skills while
assisting in the production of live evening newscasts.
With a background like this, it’s no surprise that
Kristen and her company have garnered awards from Telly,
CEA, Aurora, Aegis, Videographer, Summit, Cinema Chicago and
the Communicator, as well as received nominations for
outstanding work by the International Electronic Cinema
Festival (IECF). Cox was also recognized by AV Video
Multimedia Producer Magazine as one of the Top 100 Producers
of 2000.
Kristen also continues to contribute her talents to
several prestigious panel discussions, speaking on HDTV
production. In the previous years she has spoken to the
attendees at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Festival in 1999; the
2000 International Wildlife Film Festival and NATPE 2001,
where she joined a Dolby Sound Lab panel discussion about
proper 5.1 surround sound capture techniques for production.
Most recently, she spoke on the HDTV Super Panel at the
March 2004 HD Expo and on the Challenges in HD Content
Creation Panel at the August 2004 HDTV Forum in Los Angeles.
