October 22, in Venice, Califonia, Thomas is hosting a fun, free meet up for commercial industry types. Back on the pod, I sat down with Thomas Anderson, an Emmy-winning Executive Producer who has seamlessly navigated the worlds of both agency and freelance production. With a career built on a foundation of freelance production work and the founding of Different Gravy Films in Southern California, Thomas has made things happen on sets, in boardrooms, and everywhere in between. His journey includes senior leadership roles at respected agencies such as Fallon, FCB, DDB, and Garage Team Mazda, as well as freelance work for Saatchi, Barkley/OKRP, 180LA, Cornerstone, GSD&M, Deutsch, and many more. Join us as Thomas shares his insights on the evolving nature of production, the importance of mentorship, and the art of balancing creativity with strategy.

My cult classic mockumentary, "Dill Scallion" is online so I'm giving 100% of the money to St. Jude Children's Hospital. I've decided to donate the LIFETIME earnings every December, so the donation will grow and grow annually. Thank you.
