# Gary Sanchez Productions

Gary Sanchez Productions, LLC was an American film and television production company founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.

## History

Gary Sanchez Productions was founded in 2006 by comedians and filmmakers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The company is named after a fictional "Paraguayan entrepreneur and financier", Gary Sanchez. In 2007, McKay and Ferrell also founded the video site Funny or Die, under the ownership of the production company.
In August 2018, the company entered a three-year first look feature deal with Paramount Pictures.
On April 8, 2019, it was announced that Ferrell and McKay would be dissolving their partnership, though all developed projects at that time would continue to be completed. It was later revealed the reason for the split was because McKay cast John C. Reilly as Jerry Buss on the show Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (a role that Ferrell wanted) without Ferrell's knowledge.
In October 2019, McKay founded Hyperobject Industries. In January 2020, it was announced that Ferrell had become a partner at the company's former sister label and now successor Gloria Sanchez Productions, taking on new projects with a reorganized company with Gloria Sanchez partner, Jessica Elbaum.
