Today, we're listing out our 5 top picks for the most unique production companies and agencies in the City of Angels. Read on to discover the Giggster picks.
5) The Human Expansion Co.
The Human Expansion Co. consists of six directors, each with their own style. When you visit their website, you'll see a minimalist landing page, with the names of the six directors front and center.

Stone, formerly Head of Film at Ogilvy in the US West, and Jason Cochard, a long-time feature film and television cinematographer.
