Liquid 9, Production Partner

Liquid 9 is a production/post boutique based in Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 2003, we’re the exclusive home for the top directors, editors, motion artists, animators, composers and audio engineers in the Midwest.

We generally work with companies in a couple different ways. You can either hire our artists individually (the traditional post model) or we can take your project from boards to broadcast. This second method allows our people to talk early and often about your project, eliminating a great deal of the costly inefficiencies of the traditional production process.
