CHET THOMAS

Producer/Director

Chet Thomas is a seasoned producer and director with over 30 years of experience in the film industry. Through his company, FletChet Entertainment, and in partnership with Darrin Fletcher (Fletch), Chet has developed a diverse slate of projects in various stages of production. He currently has two series greenlit by a major streaming service, both of which he will direct and produce alongside Fletch. The first, Quitters, is a drama-comedy set in the world of addiction recovery, while the second, Beyond The Medal—a "Band of Brothers"-style series-is a collaboration with Gary Sinise. In addition to these projects, Chet has directed and produced more than 10 documentaries throughout his career.

 

Chet just recently produced the box-office theatrical hit, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever which is being heralded by critics as "an instant Christmas classic". Before becoming a producing partner with Gerald Molen (Schindler's List) on Christmas Pageant, Chet worked with Gerald on Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. Prior to that, he worked at DreamWorks for several years, where he first served in the story department, collaborating on such projects as Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, Deep Impact among others. He quickly moved to feature development, where he played a creative active role with Jason Hoffs (Edge of Tomorrow) in the development of Meet the Parents, Mouse Hunt, Road to Perdition, Small Soldiers and The Terminal.

 

Chet produced the acclaimed film Take, starring Academy Award®-nominated actors Jeremy Renner and Minnie Driver, which garnered multiple "Best of" awards at film festivals around the world. In his documentary work, Chet most recently produced the 18-time award-winning film Waterman, narrated by Jason Momoa. Waterman completed a successful U.S. theatrical run and is now streaming in the US and is being distributed internationally. A highlight of the film for Chet is the partnership he forged with the Hawall Department of Education, ensuring that Waterman is shown annually to over 10,000 seventh graders in Hawaii in perpetuity on Duke Kahanamoku's birthday.

 

As part of his commitment to giving back, Chet co-founded with Fletch the online film school, Sneak On The Lot. The program collaborates with high school teachers and students across the country, encouraging young people to express themselves creatively rather than through violence. Additionally, Chet is the founder of the nonprofit HaitiStrong.org, through which he conducts humanitarian work in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. His efforts focus on eliminating the root causes of child trafficking by empowering communities and local leaders to combat trafficking from within.
