However, it wasn t until the early 90s when he witnessed the bizarre films of John Waters and his equally zany plot lines and actors that Tom thought he d try his hand at film making. Ill equipped with a degree in Classics and Geography from a south London university he started running around the streets and parks of the metropolis filming with his camera to film a variety of off the wall shorts. A semi-pro film project while living in the Czech Republic, a Masters Degree in Documentary Film Making and a lottery funded internationally filmed comedy spy thriller opened the door for the big time at the centre of the entertainment universe: Granada Television, Manchester.
