Mr. Thomas produced the film “TAKE”, starring Academy Award®-nominated actors Jeremy Renner and Minnie Driver, which has won many ‘Best of’ categories in festivals around the country and is currently producing the film “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” which is slated for a Christmas 2023 theatrical release.  

For more than 15 years Mr. Thomas has been producing and co-directing projects under the FletChet Entertainment banner where he co-directed the Anti-Child Trafficking documentary “The Abolitionists" and executive produced and directed a television series on the same topic.  Mr. Thomas just recently produced the 10 time award winning documentary “Waterman” which is narrated by Jason Momoa.  Waterman just completed its U.S. theatrical release and is now being distributed internationally.
