Jeffrey Paul Thompson

Jeff Thompson worked as an archivist at Twentieth Century Fox from 2005–2016. During that time, he worked on hundreds of DVD/Blu-ray releases, including Miracle on 34th Street, and he took the opportunity to learn as much about this film as he could from the studio archives. Having worked at a major motion picture studio, he comes with the insider’s knowledge of how films are made and provides a unique perspective. He was also a coauthor on the studio’s official corporate history Twentieth Century Fox: A Century of Entertainment (Rowman & Littlefield, 2017) and has an extensive knowledge of the studio’s history and the context of this film.
