Christopher Panton
Christopher Panton is an award winning director/producer with over 14 years of experience in content creation. After graduating from the University of Connecticut, he immediately went to work at WWE where he spent the first 5 years of his career in the On-Air Promo department as an Associate Producer in charge of creating commercials for WWEshop.com and WWE Magazine. In addition he created promos for their flagship program on USA Network, pay-per-view, and WWE Studios.
After leaving the "squared circle" Chris continued to hone his skills working in both television production and feature films. This ultimately led to his first Emmy Award in 2015 for his work as an editor and producer for the sports comedy series Oh Yeah... on SNY, an I Love the 80's type show that focused on wild stories from the past 30 years in New York sports history and featured guests like Jim Breuer, Jeremy Shcaap, and Rich Eisen.
Currently serving as an executive producer/director of the 7x Emmy nominated and Telly Award winning lifestyle series Life on Mar's The Home Makeover Show, Chris splits his time between the series (which is streaming on Amazon Prime, Tubi TV, and IMDB TV), and directing, filming, producing, and editing for well known brands such as ESPN, Sephora, Halo video game franchise, and even History Channel.
