Jamie Anderson

Jamie Anderson was recognized as "The New Female Director to Watch Out For in 2020" by Viva Glam Magazine, and "Top 25 Writers to Watch in 2018" by The International Screenwriters' Association. She recently wrote, directed, and produced her comedy pilot, "Pumas", in the pandemic. She directed a spot for Craig's Vegan to the tune of "My Way", which won a 2021 Telly Award for Directing. She has written, directed, and produced four short films that have all won awards, including recent 2022 Outstanding Directing and a Best Supporting Actor win for "The Feeling Expert", Best Director for "Punching Bag", Best Dark Comedy for "I'm F%$#ing Fine", and Best Dark Comedy for "Me Too Nice", which was selected for twenty-one festivals in 2020. She directed English romantic comedy, "I Won't Say I Love You", in the UK, to acclaim, winning Best Romantic Short, Best Romance, and Best Actress for her leading lady. She is in prep to direct romantic feature film, "Summer in Rome", in Italy, which she co-wrote, with Simon Fawcett producing. Subsequently, she is directing her comedy feature film, "Pregnant in Las Vegas", for Patriot Pictures. Jamie Anderson is a screenwriter, director, and producer, living in Los Angeles since she was nineteen. Having grown up in Gulfport, Mississippi, and then Orlando, Florida, her work is inspired by the Redneck Riviera, as well as her life in Hollywood, both of which are a wealth of material that guarantees she'll never run out of something to write about. At times with crass humor, she has a knack for turning the painful into the absurd, always with passion, depth, and heart. After an acting career in film and television, Jamie realized her greatest love was writing and directing, and helping others shine on screen. Jamie was mentored as a writer by some of the best comedic voices working today. The first sitcom pilot she wrote led to her first feature option to Radar Pictures. Her next pilot, "Pushing 40" was a top five finalist in the prestigious TrackingB script competition. She followed it up with the feature "You Be You", a family dramedy set in the Deep South, which won her a fellowship to the esteemed Rocaberti Writers Retreat in Barcelona, Spain. Jamie has a period feature in development at Broken Road Productions, a female-driven comedy feature in pre-production at Patriot Pictures, and a TV dramedy pilot in development with an acclaimed showrunner attached. She recently spearheaded production and directed her pilot "Pumas".
