Company Background

Established in 2001 and with over 30 years of combined experience, Fade 2 Black Productions, Inc. has become one of the fastest growing companies in the world of video production.  Founders Zachery D. Powell and Daniel J. Sanz began the endeavor with a used broadcast camera and a PC and through good old fashioned sweat and hard work built the company from nothing into a competitive and low cost solution for customers seeking professional video services. 

Working hard to earn every single building block of their company (right down to the office supplies) they quickly learned how to streamline productions, keeping cost low while not compromising the expectations of their customers.  Each project led to another project, and it wasn't long before Fade 2 Black was providing production services to institutions such as Florida Atlantic University, The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, The Florida Marlins, The Miami Dolphins, The Sun-Sentinel and more.

In 2002 Fade 2 Black teamed up with Clear Channel Radio to produce the short film Paul and Young Ron's Dead Air which featured Paul Castronovo and Young Ron Brewer from 94.9 Zeta.  The film was part of a competition which engaged listeners to submit their own scripts starring the morning show hosts.  On October 30, 2002 Dead Air premiered at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival as a featured presentation in Las Olas, Fort Lauderdale. 

In the spring of 2004 Fade 2 Black Productions gained a new executive team member, Tony DePasquale.  Having been part of industrial music band, Nation of Fear, Tony brought a rich musical background and experience to the company.  Later that year Fade 2 Black Productions began production on Feedback!, a cable show geared to helping aspiring musical artists fine tune their craft and navigate the record industry. 

Fade 2 Black Productions now also offers production services for independent filmmakers, as well as having original films in development.  Filmmakers can utilize services as simple as consultations or script reviews, or as much as the full production of the film.

These guys were great, they did our movie and professional?  They were on time, and the only problem I thought was for some reason they made me look fatter than you (to Young Ron Brewer).
