For 23 years, Hunnypot wasn’t just a party — it was the beating heart of LA’s music discovery culture. Founded and hosted by John “Hot Tub Johnnie” Anderson, the weekly Hunnypot events became a creative sanctuary for artists, publishers, producers, and music supervisors navigating an industry in freefall.

This feature documentary follows Johnnie’s personal boom-and-bust journey while exploring the rise, struggles, and realities of modern music supervision. As budgets shrank, streaming disrupted income, and a 2023 unionizing effort collapsed, the Hunnypot community became a rare haven for connection, discovery, and survival.

Hunnypot was also the birthplace of the Guild of Music Supervisors — one of the most influential organizations in film, TV, advertising, and gaming.

The Hunnypot Story captures a cultural moment, a creative movement, and the people who kept the music alive when the industry around them changed forever.
