Four Screens

New media company to champion diversity - Four Screens!

We make content that looks more like the people watching it. 

Images and representation in the stories we watch matter. If you don’t have diverse talent behind the cameras, you won’t see diverse content done authentically. 

The entertainment industry seriously lacks diversity.

*McKinsey & Company

Diversity is in our DNA.

We fill the diversity gap in management, production, and development. 

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

We make movies & TV

We know licensing.

A strong licensing program is important to our clients' brands and maximizing profits. The possibilities are endless!

We've developed a robust licensing program for our client and lead investor, the Estate of ODB. The photo (left) is part of the Estate's IP collection that Four Screens has curated. Merch fan favorites include: ODB Odd Fellows Ice Cream, skate shoes, athletic jerseys by Supreme and figurines by Super7; ReAction Figures.

Co-Founder Nicole Beckett guides the creative vision behind our clients and their licensing programs. Here she is at her desk with a collection of our client ODB's merchandise, simultaneously checking the creative on our Black superhero animated series "Sword of the Cypher."

We own Intellectual Property.

We must own what we create to be a part of the value chain of ownership. By owning our own IP, including content, scripts and books, we create more opportunities for our clients and ourselves.

Sword of the Cypher is one of Four Screens' animation projects in development. Stay tuned for exclusive sneak peaks of footage.

Included in Four Screens' collection of IP is "The Fantabulous Girl's Guide to Wardrobe Styling," written by Co-Founder and Creative Director Nicole Beckett (left). Fun Fact: She started her Hollywood career as a costume designer.
