    LOS ANGELES --

    Cultivate.Media, a Los Angeles-based production company, and Click 3X, a NY-headquartered digital creative studio along with its live action division X3 Films, have partnered to form a bicoastal strategic alliance, expanding the companies’ extensive roster of directors as well as growing their capabilities across coasts. 

    The newly formed partnership allows Cultivate.Media and Click 3X the ability to bundle and package a wide range of director talent with Click 3X’s well established postproduction, animation, digital and design capabilities. The partnership will also give Click 3X and Cultivate.Media access to production operations on both the East and West Coasts, including X3 Films’ sound stage and equipment in New York City. 

    Cultivate.Media is led by Mark Thomas, partner and managing director, and Hugh Bacher, executive producer. Cultivate’s directorial roster includes Ali Ali, Dean Blumberg, Indigenous, Matty Smith, Scotty Bergstein, Steve Gordon and Gail Mancuso. 

    Thomas related, “We’ve been working with Click 3X on projects so this new relationship only strengthens our capabilities and increases our opportunities.”

    Peter Corbett is founder and president of Click 3X. Bill Hewes heads up X3 Films with a directorial lineup which includes Tyler Greco, Lindsey Daniels, Aron Baxter and Justin Dickel. 

    “Projects now combine so many disciplines–live action, post, animation and technology, all areas where Click 3X excels,” said Corbett. “With this new relationship, we now can further expand and diversify our group of talented artists in a bicoastal operation to meet the varied needs of our clients.”

    Both Click 3X and Cultivate.Media are represented by Brad Edelstein and Cachet (Sabrina Mehar) on the East Coast; Helen O’Brien in the Midwest; and Toni Saarinen and Brandon Pic on the West Coast and in Texas.
