Two Become One: Documentary Directors Philip Knowlton and JP Bouchard merge to become Knowlton Bouchard.
Brooklyn-based Greenpoint Pictures is pleased to announce that 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.
In 2014, Bouchard and Knowlton were both commissioned to direct films for Beck’s Live Beyond Labels series with Vice. 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 talented pair have been busy on a number of notable projects, 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.

“While Philip and JP were already talented and accomplished directors on their own, the creative energy and balance they created on set was immediately recognizable, and we all had an ‘aha’ moment,” said Jordana Freydberg, Executive Producer of Sales, Greenpoint Pictures.
“They are truly yin and yang and the result is magical. They are already finding success in the industry as they continue to grab the attention of agencies and brands with their beautiful, compelling, and at times, funny films about real people and celebrities alike.”
Greenpoint Pictures was founded in 2002 by Michael Kuhn, with fellow partner and executive producer Jacob Lincoln joining in 2010. Offering the full range of production services, the company is committed to producing compelling stories that foster strong connections between brand and audience.
