Tom made his first short film at the age of 12, a star turn that made his mother cry at the premiere as she watched her young son bleed to death on the school bathroom floor. Since then he has worked as a director, first AD and editor on projects ranging from feature films to music videos to ad campaigns, and though his acting career is over his passion for film remains. Originally from New Zealand, he spent a couple of years based in Berlin before returning to Melbourne, where he now works with an international client base on commercial and creative projects.
