Tom began his writing career as a playwright at university in 2004, before finding his home writing for the screen. In 2012 he moved into producing and the following year he founded Cannibal Films with Alex Lightman and Ern Herrmann. He wrote and produced their debut feature Tear Me Apart which world premiered in competition at the Austin Film Festival 2015. More recently he has written two series for blackpills - Immortality (released 2018) and Off (in development) - and consults on and rewrites for a variety of content.

Cannibal Films continues to expand as they grow their slate. Impressed by their achievement on Tear Me Apart, Mark Sandell, previously founding partner of Trinity Filmed Entertainment, joined the company in 2016 to help develop a slate of commercial projects. They are now developing and producing a range of genre content with depth - unexpected, imaginative and sizeable stories across film and TV that not only understand their audience, but aim to capture new audiences too.
