Pan Left Productions

Started in 1994 by Lisa Wise and Jeff Imig, Pan Left Productions was born out of the desire to help local activists and artists make video work for little or no money. Pan Left Productions has slowly but steadily grown into a non-profit production company, with an active membership that is consistently producing articulate, artistic, and thought-provoking work.We are a membership-driven collective of progressive artists. Our mission is threefold: to create and distribute videos —nonfiction, documentary, narrative & experimental— that educate and expose viewers to social, political and cultural issues; to promote do-it-yourself media and creative expression through video and other media arts; to provide an outlet for creative, artistic expression and dialogue.As a part of our mission, Pan Left puts the tools of production into the hands of people who are not equally represented in the mainstream media, provides production services to allied, progressive non-profits, and hosts neighborhood and community events that showcase works by independent artists.
