Likely Story is an independent film production company founded by its president and CEO Anthony Bregman in October 2006 with Stefanie Azpiazu. It is based in New York City with an office in Los Angeles. The company's logo, which features a panda, is based on a "likely story". A panda walks into a bar and shoots up the place before leaving, only for the owner to read in a book that a panda "eats shoots and leaves".
