Tom McPhee

Founder, Executive Director
​Producer & Director of Movies and TV

Currently Tom is in production on a feature documentary, Jayson's Superhero Training, as well as in post production on a new 6 episode half hour series, Rider's Rescues shot in Florida in February 2022 for PBS,  And in November, 2022 Tom will host another edition of #AniFab the Animalis Fabula Film Festival. 

On Sunday September 4, 2005 I found myself beginning a new life's mission as I left Michigan for New Orleans and I began to document much of the animal rescue efforts immediately following Hurricane Katrina.  What I discovered?  An entire world I had no idea existed and one most people never pay attention to:  the world of animal rescue. I found people risking everything, sometimes their lives, to rescue these animals, other peoples pets.  The results of this observation?  My multi award-winning documentary AN AMERICAN OPERA The Greatest Pet Rescue
This journey set me on a path to discover/uncover the many ways humans and non-human animals interact.  With the World Animal Awareness Society & WA2S Films Team, I scour the World for stories to film and present about this relationship.

This is not an animal rights initiative, this is simply about human animal awareness. The WA2S is looking to understand what the sides are.  The WA2S was created to be a free agent, looking for facts and stories about how humans interact with animals in contemporary society throughout the world.  I am convinced I will be able to see our human evolutionary arc in real time along the way.

I am frequently asked, whose side are you on?  I always respond the same - "I am on the side of knowledge and understanding".
