- Norm Anderson is a Daytime Emmy-nominated executive producer, writer and documentary filmmaker with credits on a wide variety of shows and networks - from Discovery's Shark Week to shows on VH1, the CW, E!, CNBC, and, most recently, as the creator of "Prairie Dog Manor" for Nat Geo Wild and Disney+.
His feature documentary, "The Donut Dollies," which tells the story of brave women who volunteered in the war zones of Vietnam, screened to capacity crowds at the 2020 Palm Springs International Film Festival, and won the "Best Documentary Feature" award at the GI Film Festival in San Diego. Most importantly, the film features and was inspired by his mom, Dorset Anderson.
The recipient of an Austrian Fulbright Grant, a graduate of Williams College and USC's Film Production MFA Program, Norm has been a finalist for the Sundance and Film Independent screenwriting labs and was also the recipient of a prestigious Sloan writing fellowship.
Born and raised in the New England woods without running water, electricity or television, Norman now has all three, and has even been on TV - doing so well on Wheel of Fortune that Pat Sajak proclaimed, "Norm is living proof that electricity is way overrated."
