ABOUT FOUNDER PHILIP KNOWLTON
Philip is an award-winning documentary-style filmmaker. Born and raised in Paris, France, he became fascinated with the creative world at a young age – spending many hours filming his own versions of MTV music videos. After an internship with hip hop video icon, director Little X, he landed a once-in-a-lifetime chance to work alongside Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch as an assistant editor at Oscilloscope Laboratories.
Since then, he’s developed and refined his own, unique style as a director, cinematographer & editor. His work has been featured in magazines like Communication Arts, AdWeek and received nods from the AICP and Webby Awards. His most recent feature documentary, KUPENDA, which tells the story of three students with disabilities who challenged their community’s beliefs when they set out to climb Africa’s tallest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, won the Best Feature Documentary award at Festival Inclus in Barcelona. Philip is currently in development on several documentary series.
