Documentary directors Philip Knowlton and JP Bouchard have partnered to form the directing duo now known as Knowlton Bouchard. Independently, each director has been a long-time member of the Greenpoint Pictures family. As a duo, they continue to be handled by Brooklyn-based Greenpoint.
In 2014, Bouchard and Knowlton were both commissioned to direct films for Beck’s Live Beyond Labels series. While they were not yet an official duo, coming together for that project was the initial spark that would ultimately motivate them to join forces.
Since creating Knowlton Bouchard, the pair has been busy on a number of jobs including “Taste of Home,” a heart-warming project for JetBlue, via Mullen, that brought a special surprise to Dominican families living in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan. Prior to that, they collaborated on three of Ford’s “Go Further” films with Team Detroit, depicting real people who go the extra mile to help others or rise above challenges.
Greenpoint Pictures was founded in 2002 by Michael Kuhn, with fellow partner and executive producer Jacob Lincoln joining in 2010.
