What's in a Name?

Our company name is taken from jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins' 1956 masterpiece, Saxophone Colossus. The final track on the album, Blue 7, is everything a great work of art should be: inspired, balanced, timeless. We aim to produce work that, like the song, withstands the test of time without losing any of its original power to connect with the individual.
About our Company

Blue 7 Media is a new generation production studio dedicated to exploring the unique possibilities of digital video. We believe it is the most flexible and cost effective way to bring high-quality moving images to life.

We strive to tell a compelling story in each of our productions. We figure that since the digital media we use will last a hundred years, the entertainment and archival values of our work should too! That's why we go to great lengths to avoid cheap gimmicks and meaningless flair. We think you'll like the result.

Owners Jeremy Williams and Christopher Frisby first met and collaborated at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio in the early nineties. Both studied under nationally exhibited video artist Claudia Esslinger.
