An Evening with Tom Jennings — Executive Producer, 1895 Films

Join Creative Club San Diego for one of our most elevated events yet. On March 19th, we're welcoming Tom Jennings, Executive Producer of 1895 Films — an award-winning documentary production company whose work has appeared on Netflix, National Geographic, Disney+, and the Smithsonian Channel.

Notable projects include The Real Right Stuff, Apollo: Missions to the Moon, MLK: The Assassination Tapes, and Diana: In Her Own Words. 1895 Films has received Emmy and Peabody recognition and has been named to Realscreen's Global 200.

Session Theme: Building an Award-Winning Creative Company & Leading with Story

This is not just a filmmaking talk. Tom will share the real story behind building a world-class production company — the early mistakes, the defining pivots, and what it actually takes to earn trust from major networks. Whether you're a creative, entrepreneur, founder, or leader, this session will challenge how you think about storytelling and business.

We'll cover:
• What it actually takes to grow a production company
• How you earn trust from major networks
• Early mistakes and defining pivots
• The shift from hands-on creative to leader
• How powerful storytelling goes beyond film
