  ## History
  
  O-Zone, Inc. was founded by Gary S. Rosenthal in 1986 as O-Zone Productions, with the goal of education through communication. Gary stated “I really find a lot of joy in taking a complicated concept and making it understandable to any audience. Being at the right place at the right time O-Zone had a lot of commercial success as an early developer of content for HBO and MTV Networks, including, MTV, VH1, and Nickelodeon. In 1992, O-Zone Productions moved from New York City to Washington, D.C., and changed focus from broadcast television to develop other long form marketing and educational media. In 1998 O-Zone, Inc. was created to handle the diversification of media channel offerings. These have included educational programs for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It has produced, consulted and trained for Army Television, the US Senate, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and produced programming for communications/technology companies, universities, biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
