About Jon Brewer, producer and director
Awards and festival selections
25+ years making ambitious things actually happen.
Jon Brewer is a Los Angeles producer and director with more than 25 years in production across commercials, music videos, television and feature films. His credits include work for Toyota, Atlantic Records, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon and McDonald’s, with directors including Dave Meyers, Paul Hunter and Dev Patel. His work includes Home Shopper, a Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Selection, the NAACP Image Award-nominated Flower, and the recent action feature Tiger Bones.
Jon started as a production assistant in 2001. Before he lived in Los Angeles, he took overnight buses from Sacramento for production jobs, paid to put himself up, and worked restaurant shifts between shoots so he could afford to do it again. On one music video, he got off the Greyhound downtown and skateboarded to a set in Bel Air.
That ground-up production experience became the foundation of Funbomb, the company he founded in 2010. Jon produces through Funbomb and with select production partners, building the crews, budgets and infrastructure around the needs of each job. His strength is staying calm when productions get complicated, protecting the creative, understanding how every department affects the others, and finding a practical way forward.
He also directs commercials, music videos and narrative work, with a growing focus on tabletop, food and product filmmaking, stop motion and practical effects. His taste runs fun, creative, technical, beautiful and occasionally delicious.
Eagle Scout discipline. Punk rock resourcefulness.
