Panoptica

Founded in New York in 2011, PANOPTICA builds its slate around individual directors rather than a single house style, producing brand content, feature films, music videos, and documentaries meant to entertain audiences around the world. Hughes William Thompson founded and directs the company, which holds membership in the Association of Independent Commercial Producers.

Work moves through three stages under one roof. Development and pre-production covers creative direction, scripting, talent casting, and location scouting. Production management and logistics handles crew staffing along with camera, lighting, and sound equipment. Post-production and delivery covers editorial, text and motion graphics, visual effects, and animation, with Evan Cutler Wattles heading that department, Roan Bibby serving as Executive Producer, and Mandy Cooper as Controller.

Recent activity includes director Bill Horace signing with PANOPTICA, Nathan Crooker teaming up with Chime and Marshawn Lynch on a project, and Samuel Miron helming a new campaign for Visit Seattle. These signings and campaigns reflect a roster of directors supported from initial concept through final delivery.
