John C. “Fitz” Fitzgerald is a writer, producer and storyteller whose work spans television, documentary, comedy, music and nonfiction film. His career began in New Orleans, where he was a founding editor of Tribe magazine, an award-winning 64-page color tabloid covering art, culture, music, fashion, fiction and ideas. He moved to Los Angeles in the 1990s and joined Planet Grande Pictures, a boutique production company in Malibu that became an accidental film school. Over the next three decades, he worked as a producer, showrunner, television executive and story consultant across film and television.

More recently, Fitzgerald has focused on intimate, vérité filmmaking built around a simple idea: less machinery, more room for something real to happen. A member of the Producers Guild of America, he lives in Los Angeles, where he helped raise two daughters, and remains the keeper of the vibe.
