Biography

John Anderson is an American filmmaker born in Columbus, Ohio on January 12, 1954. John Anderson is the son of J. Milo Anderson, a hospital administrator, and Helen (nee Casterton) Anderson, a registered nurse. Due to his father's career as a hospital administrator, John moved around a lot as a child, living for a time in Ohio, then New York, California and Pennsylvania. John attended Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois where he received a B.S. in Radio/TV/Film in 1976. While at Northwestern Anderson produced and hosted a weekly radio program on WNUR entitled "Rough Cut", comprised of live recordings Anderson made in Chicago-area folk, blues and rock clubs. John's 1974 recording of Steve Goodman was released commercially by Red Pajamas Records in 2013. Upon graduation from Northwestern, Anderson worked as an editor at Chicago post-production facilities Telemation and Post Effects, and in 1985 while at Post Effects edited The Super Bowl Shuffle (1985), the second-highest selling music video ever to that date behind Michael Jackson's Michael Jackson: Thriller (1983). His satiric rock band The Cleaning Ladys achieved national attention with its music videos "Creatures From Outer Space" and "She Won't French Kiss", the latter winning an International Monitor Award over a field including Dire Straits, Don Henley and Yes. Anderson went on to work as a documentary editor at Bill Kurtis's Kurtis Productions and IPA. Then in 1995, Anderson with three partners opened the Chicago post-production company 'Superior Street Inc. [us]'. It was while at Superior Street in 1998 that Anderson began his professional relationship with Beach Boy Co-Founder Brian Wilson. In 2007 he opened the production/post-production company Anderson Productions, through which he directs, edits and produces music documentaries. His latest film is Horn from the Heart: The Paul Butterfield Story (2017), a music documentary about the late blues artist, Paul Butterfield.
