Filament Productions is a production design and touring video company based in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA, since 2005. It was founded by Fenton Williams, who was the first road manager for the Dave Matthews Band ("DMB"). During the early 1990s, Williams realized he was not the best road manager and found his passion in designing sets and lighting at the DMB concerts. Filament Productions has since grown alongside the Dave Matthews Band, providing the band with video production, lighting and set design.[1][2]

As of 2010, Filament Productions is one of the top production design and touring video companies in the industry because of its success with the Dave Matthews Band, which has been the third highest grossing touring band in the world and one of the highest attended touring bands in North America.[3] Filament's list of clients now includes Tim McGraw, Zac Brown Band, Grateful Dead and Luke Bryan.
