CategoriesBeantown Statie production company was a concept that came to life when we started production on Code 13: Unreadable in 2016.
The space that would eventually become our offices/sound stage was a location we acquired to set dress as a police station for the project. When filming wrapped in August 2016, Mel Alejandro, the co-owner, decided to keep the space to expand on his security business. Shortly after we signed the lease, we commenced filming on Testing the Series with Angelwood Pictures. The building was transformed into a dilapidated mental ward from the 1950's. When production was completed on Testing, we were at a crossroad. Continue to build the security portion of our business, or go full tilt into the production industry. Needless to say, the production side won out. We were blessed to connect with Seng K2X, who was our videographer during Code 13 and joined our team permanently, as our sound stage manager. Johnson Sea originally came on board as our on set medic, and quickly his deep resource of talents added to our Beantown team. We were fortunate to have Peter Maynard, as our military technical advisor, until his move out of state, but we still consider him part of our team. The four of us have been able to do some incredible work and in late 2018 Vinnie became the host of Kahdiak's kitchen, with his out of control sidekick Paco. The unscripted cook show, quickly became a fan favorite, and a multi award winning series on Amazon Video and Apple TV. Over the past 8 years we have worked with some of the most incredible actors, producers, directors, writers, editors and creatives, who have inspired us beyond measure. Now in 2024 we are at a crossroad again. We have realized for a while that we had long ago outgrown our space. In order to continue to take our business to the next level, we needed to expand. The question was where? That question is still in the works, as we have several options. We will be able to reach a final decision in the coming weeks. We are so excited for what the future holds for our small studio, that could, and for where this team of merry dreamers will go. We will have more updates in the coming weeks. We do want to take the opportunity to thank every single one of you who have trusted us with your dreams, visions and creative endeavors in the last 8 years. We continue to look Forward to growing with you, and to continue on this crazy, incredible ride with all of you.
