Jonathan Glickman, a seasoned veteran of over 25 years in the entertainment business, founded Panoramic Media, an independent production company in February 2020. It is the natural evolution of his continued focus on developing IP for established and emerging storytellers across all content platforms, including film, television and podcasting. The new venture marks a return to independent production for Glickman after a successful eight-year run as President of the MGM Motion Picture Group, where he guided a bankrupt company into a thriving studio with a full slate, two labels and theatrical distribution. Notably, during Glickman’s term at MGM, he was ahead of the industry’s diversity hiring initiatives, with 24% of his slate featuring female filmmakers and 27% featuring directors of color, far exceeding the industry average.
Outside of the studio, Glickman serves on the National Board of the Posse Foundation and Story Pirates. In 2014, Glickman started the Visiting Producer Series Endowment Fund in the Department of Screen Arts & Cultures at the University of Michigan.
