Tom Donahue (born May 18, 1968) is an American film director and producer. His latest feature documentary, HBO's Casting By, was nominated for an Emmy. In 2010, Donahue founded the production company, CreativeChaos with Ilan Arboleda and Steve Edwards.
Donahue co-directed an episode of the 10-part AFI series, 100 Years/100 Movies (with Linda Schaffer), which was broadcast on TNT in 1998. It was called The Antiheroes, and included interviews with Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood and Paul Schrader and was narrated by James Woods. The series was executive produced by Richard Schickel and Mel Stuart.
In 2005, Donahue directed the narrative short, Thanksgiving (starring James Urbaniak and Seymour Cassel & written by Sean Gullette).
He made his feature documentary debut with Guest of Cindy Sherman (as co-director with Paul H-O) which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. The film opened theatrically in March 2009 and had its broadcast premiere on the Sundance Channel in May 2009.
Nathan Lee wrote in The New York Times, “At once a fascinating behind-the-scenes glimpse, bittersweet autobiography and witty trip down art-world memory lane”. John Anderson wrote in Variety,
"If a doc manages to inform and entertain, it's ahead of the competition. If it features engaging personalities (or penguins), so much the better. And if it manages not to lose its assets while dipping its toe into murkier issues -- becoming, say, a brow-knitting thumb-sucker -- then it's really a work of art; such is "Guest of Cindy Sherman."
