Executive Producer Chris Zander and director Andrew Wonder announce the launch of Tomorrow, a new production company that is “driven by optimism.” With offices in Playa Vista and Brooklyn, Tomorrow will produce work across genres, including commercials, films, music videos, and branded content.
Led by Zander, former Managing Director of Backyard Productions, and director Wonder, Tomorrow’s touchstones of “idealism, integrity, and imagination” reflect a focus on creating great work while also serving as agents of positive change.
“The production company model has stayed relatively the same forever,” says Zander. “There’s nothing wrong with the heritage brands in our industry, but if you wanted to build the 2019 version of them, you wouldn’t and couldn’t build them the same way today. We created Tomorrow to take a stand for a new way of doing things, with an emphasis on creative collaboration and an empathetic and mindful way of working. This business is at a crossroads, and we are energized by the uncertainty and possibility.”
Wonder adds, “Just as we expect agencies and clients to evolve, it is time we as directors and company owners do the same. At a time when anyone can be a content creator, everyone deserves a voice. Good ideas come from everywhere and no matter your gender, ethnicity or orientation you will not only be welcome but encouraged to be a part of the work we do. It’s no longer enough to be good, you need to be a good person too. Tomorrow doesn’t entertain ideas, we sponsor them. We grow our talent, putting fuel back into the creative fire.”
