Owners of Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Combine Facilities Into a Powerful New Entity

Legendary Hollywood Lots Are Newly Named Capital Studios to Reflect Visionary Studio Platform Strategy of Owner and Operator, Hudson Capital LLC

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The largest independent production studio owner in the United States, Hudson Capital, LLC, is bringing together two legendary Hollywood lots to become one entity and changing the studios' names to Capital Studios. The former Sunset Gower Studios will now be called Capital Studios at Sunset Gower, while Sunset Bronson Studios (formerly KTLA/Tribune Studios) will be known as Capital Studios at Sunset Bronson. The announcement was made today by Hudson Capital LLC principals Victor Coleman and Howard Stern.

The new entity of Capital Studios comes as a direct result of Hudson Capital's goal of creating one significant operating platform that takes advantage of the synergies and economies of scale by owning both properties, which continue to operate at a high level. Together, Capital Studios has a combined total of 23 sound stages and over 700,000 square feet of office production and support space located on 28 acres in the heart of Hollywood.

As part of the powerful merging of facilities and historic name-change announcement, several new developments are taking place, including:

-- New studios' identity, logo and website at
http://www.shootatcapital.com/
-- Extensive, multi-million dollar renovations and aesthetic upgrades
including new main entrance and new exterior Main Street
-- New monthly screening series for new filmmakers through partnership
with NewFilmmakers LA, held in the 70-seat, state-of-the-art theatre
named after famed independent director Stanley Kramer
-- A recently-announced S3D studio, the first fully-equipped stereo
3D-ready stages of their kind in the world
-- The highly anticipated state-of-the-art post production building soon
to be occupied by Technicolor (first new office building to be
constructed in Hollywood in the past 20 years)

"This is much more than a name change," said Coleman. "We see a prime opportunity in creating a production network platform comprised of state-of-the-art facilities that operate at the highest level. We expect to redefine what the independent studio experience will be for the foreseeable future."

Stern added, "Film, technology and digital media have all changed. Technology is moving at lightning speed, and we have to move even faster. We're committed to creating studio lot experiences that gives our customers and tenants more efficiencies and more value."

Capital Studios at both the Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson locations are currently home to numerous high-profile film and television shows including the upcoming feature "The Ugly Truth" (Sony Lakeshore starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler), feature "Gulliver's Travels" (Fox), "Heroes" (NBC) "Hannah Montana" (Disney), "Dexter" (Blind Decker/Showtime)," "MadTV" (Fox), "Judge Judy" and "Judge Joe Brown" (Big Ticket Pictures)," Divorce Court" (20th Television), "Family Feud" (Freemantle Media), "Trivial Pursuit" (Wheeler Sussman), "Talk Show with Spike Feresten" (Fox TV)and the new buzzed-about ABC series "In The Motherhood," among many others. Capital Studios also plays host to commercial productions, music videos (most recently Christina Aguilera and the Pussycat Dolls with Missy Elliott), screenings, special events and office tenants.

Hudson Capital LLC will continue to own, operate and oversee development, construction, facilities management, accounting, financial reporting and sales and marketing for Capital Studios at Sunset Gower and Capital Studios at Sunset Bronson. By early 2009, Technicolor will move into the new, six-story office/post-production building at Gower that represents one of the most technologically advanced post-production facilities in the world.
