We build every project from scratch, assembling the right mix of seasoned producers, directors and creatives around what the idea actually needs.
Plug us into your process, or let us build the process for you. Either way, expect a partnership that’s strategic, collaborative and just scrappy enough.
Our global roster spans directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, photographers, production designers and editors, giving us the flexibility to build the right team for every story.
No cookie-cutter crews. No prefab plans.
Junk Drawer was born in 2008, when founder Mary Beth Anderson directed and produced a branded short-form series for National Geographic in partnership with Ameriprise Financial, Mindshare and Saatchi & Saatchi. It was an early collaboration across network, brand and agency, and it shaped the way we still work today.
A producer, director, showrunner and format-builder with more than two decades of experience, Mary Beth has built a career at the intersection of television, brands and emerging platforms. Her credits include Zillow Gone Wild, Giada in My Kitchen, Brother vs. Brother, Restored by the Fords, My Lottery Dream Home, Design Star, Good Bones and Trading Spaces.
Today, Mary Beth leads Junk Drawer’s work across original formats, branded entertainment and social-first content, partnering with brands, talent and platforms to develop and produce work built for how audiences watch today.
