Submission declined on 4 March 2024 by Paul W (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations. Please cite your sources using footnotes. For instructions on how to do this, please see Referencing for beginners. Thank you. Declined by Paul W 3 months ago. | ![]() |

Randy Tat is an American television and film producer. He is most known for creating and executive producing the film Fourth Down and Love,[1] the true crime television series Finding Andrea,[2][3] the podcast Families Who Kill: The Donut Shop Murders, and being a production executive on How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.[4] He lives in Los Angeles, California.[5][6]
Tat was born in Seattle, Washington.[5] He graduated from the Cornish College of the Arts where he studied art and design and then attended University of Washington where he studied film and television. He is an alumni of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.[7]
In 1998, he became production executive for the Robert Evans Company and later became the executive vice president for CFP Productions, both Paramount Pictures affiliated film companies.[4] During this time, he was involved in the development of Jade, The Phantom, The Saint, The Out-of-Towners, and was a production executive for How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.[8][9][10] After the latter film's success, Tat negotiated a new production deal for Christine Forsyth-Peters (formerly president of Evan's company) and ran CFP productions as executive vice president for the next 12 years.[11][12][13][14]
In 2011, he became development executive for Renegade 83 Entertainment, a subsidiary of Entertainment One, for 7 years.[15]
In 2020, he founded a media production company called Warner Drive Entertainment and began creating and executive producing programs. Since then, he has developed Families Who Kill: The Donut Shop Murders, a podcast about the 1970s McCrary Murders, for the Wondery network.[16][17][18] He was the creator and executive producer of the television series Finding Andrea, a true crime television series for Discovery+.[2][3][19] He was the creator and executive producer of the "Alaska Barn Rescue" episode of the television series In with the Old on Magnolia Network.[20][21][22] He was also an executive producer of the Hallmark film Fourth Down and Love.[1][23]
Under the artist name "Tat on the Wall", Tat has exhibited artwork and sculpture pieces in art galleries across West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Sherman Oaks, San Diego, and Seattle.[24] His artwork has also been featured in numerous exhibits by the Zimmer Children's Museum (now known as Clayton Children's Museum).[25] Each piece features a story that ties into the exhibit prompt.
Tat's paintings have uncredited features in the 1992 film Wayne's World.[26]
In 2006, Tat created "Timey the Clown" a mixed-media piece featured in the exhibit "The Art of Time". The piece was composed of several antique luggage trunks adorned with vintage circus posters, antique clocks, a portrait, and the clown paraphernalia featured in the portrait. Tat imagined the character as the child of a watch-maker who learned how to juggle clocks and became a clown. As part of the process of creating a mythology for this piece, he personally immersed himself into the conceptual character: learning to juggle and posing for the included portrait using the clown costume from Timey's trunk.[24][27]
In 2010, he created "Desi, The Self Made Man: I Think, Therefore I Am... All That I Can Be" a wooden sculpture featured in the exhibit “The Art of Knowledge”. The five-foot tall piece was a mixed-media assemblage composed of recycled materials decorated using paints and self-help book covers. The piece's name was inspired by René Descartes' philosophical statement "I think, therefore I am".[5]
Many of Tat's art pieces have been auctioned off by the Zimmer Children's Museum with the proceeds being donated to the California-based educational charity youTHink.[24]
He is a Juror for the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival and has been a panelist in previous years.[28][29][30][31][32]
