Jamie Anderson Bio

Jamie Anderson was recognized as “The New Female Director to Watch Out For” by Viva Glam Magazine, and “Top 25 Writers to Watch” by The International Screenwriters’ Association. She recently wrote, directed and produced her comedy pilot, “Pumas”. 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 Award 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. 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 her comedy feature film, Pregnant in Las Vegas, for Patriot Pictures. Subsequently, she is directing romantic feature film, Summer in Rome, which she co-wrote, with Simon Fawcett producing.

Jamie Anderson is a writer, director, filmmaker, and actress, living in Los Angeles. Having grown up in Mississippi and Florida, her work is inspired by the paradox of 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 depth and heart.

After an acting career in film and television, Jamie was mentored as a writer by some of the best comedic voices working today. The first sitcom pilot she wrote garnered such acclaim that it led to her first feature option to Radar Pictures. Her next comedy pilot, “Pushing 40”, now titled “Pumas”, 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.

Currently, Jamie has several projects in development, including a period feature at Broken Road Productions, and a comedy television pilot in development with Talaria Media.
