Hey I'm Tom.
I'm a multidisciplinary filmmaker with 10 years of experience in documentary, commercial, and non-profit film. I'm committed to storytelling that amplifies lesser heard voices.
I've worked in over 20 countries, documenting unsung blues, soul, and folk musicians throughout the American South, a legendary land-rights activist in South India, former combatants of violent political conflict in South Africa and Northern Ireland, million dollar pigeon racers across Europe, Pez collectors across the US, and most recently, scientists and sailors near the north pole conducting climate change research. My work has been supported by non-profits like the Southern Documentary Fund, Music Maker Relief Foundation, and the Fetzer institute.
For my bread and butter I've been fortunate to work with Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, TMobile, Warner Brothers, Magnolia Pictures, Monolith, Union Bank and Weyerhaeuser.
I shoot on digital systems as well as 16mm and 35mm film. I'm an experienced producer, capable editor (Premeire, AE, DaVinci, FCP) and an FAA licensed drone pilot.
