Born and raised in Los Angeles, Thomas worked in televison post-production before taking the plunge and pursuing filmmaking full-time. He moved to New York City to attend Columbia University's graduate film program where he received an MFA in directing from the School of the Arts before returning to LA.

He loves creative teamwork in the pursuit of something completely unique, enjoys being in flow as a filmmaker and photographer, and watches every horror film he can get his hands on. Thomas is currently developing a horror feature entitled Streamer about a Ritalin-addicted Twitch streamer who loses her grasp on reality when a death in the family forces her to move back to her childhood home and a fan gets too close for comfort.

He currently freelances as a videographer and photographer, specializing in 360 photography for top universities such as USC, LSU, Oklahoma State, and many others. A 360 photography portfolio is available upon request.
