Hi, I'm Tom

Great films start with two things:

The right ideas and the right people to execute them. I’ve built my career around finding both.

I make films that refuse to sit still:

I came up through advertising in London. Learned to build films that entertain while they work. Corporate storytelling that doesn't make you feel dead inside. Branded documentaries that don't feel like hard work. Social campaigns that actually get shared. My work usually comes with a bit of wit and a big dose of brave. If it's predictable, it's probably not mine.

I’ve turned storytelling into a scalable business:

I founded Wild Films and grew it from one person to a team of 20, working with sports and tech brands on content strategies that shift culture and drive growth. My role was to always think beyond the deliverable – steering creative vision across big budgets, multiple crews and complex briefs that need to deliver business results.

Global brands and small startups trust me with their stories:

From projecting messages onto Parliament for Grenfell United to filming hillwalkers facing the reality of glaucoma, I like stories with heart and purpose. I’ve worked with a Holocaust survivor and a rapper to shine fresh light on history’s darkest hour, chased container ships around the world for Maersk, and helped PureGym flex its personality as it grew from 300 to 600 sites.

To me, tech is time travel:

I’ll mix 16mm with iPhone footage because the story needs texture, not perfection. Rig cameras in places health and safety would rather not know about. Analogue, digital, whatever gets the job done. I'm format-agnostic and proud of it.

I’m already using the tools everyone will be talking about in two years:

I work with generative AI to unlock new forms of storytelling, blending strategy with creative risk to see what's possible before it becomes standard.

Eight Dolphins and a Cannes Grand Prix later…

Looking for a film that gives people goosebumps? Let’s talk.
