Serving the Entertainment Industry Since 1995
Beginning January 1, 1995, Lee Roth got his start opening one of the first web design studios in the industry. His first website went online June 26, 1995. If you ask him today, he will tell you, “It’s not done yet!”
With his first clients being mostly game development studios, in early 1997, Lee won a web design contest for HBO’s U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, where he met actor/comedian Sinbad, who opened the doors to working in Hollywood.
2019: The Year Feature Film Production Begins
As of March 30, with four films now in development, news will be coming in a pretty constant stream starting by mid-summer. In the meantime, we have begun a series of “Meet The Filmmaker” events to introduce our development services, funding options, and production associates.
2018: A New Name and a Renewed Focus
While the term “Digital Media” was all the rage when we got started, today, if you’re in media and you’re not digital, you’re a dinosaur destined for extinction!
While our services will always include still photography for production and publicity, the word “Pictures” allows us to continue our growth in film and video as well. If it’s good enough for Paramount Pictures and Sony Pictures, it’s certainly good enough for us!
2016 and Beyond:
Over the years, Roth has amassed a wealth of relationships with entertainers, executives and creatives at all levels of the entertainment industry. It is these relationships that Roth Stock Pictures draws upon today as we expand into film and video.
