COLE  
DIRECTOR

Tom Cole is an award-winning, multi-disciplined Director from London, now based in Los Angeles.

 

Over his twenty year career, Tom has directed projects in the UK, USA, South Africa, and Canada.

His recent directing work for HULU, includes directing promos for DEATH AND OTHER DETAILS, starring Mandy Patinkin, WELCOME TO CHIPPENDALES, and most recently, BLACK CAKE.

Tom brings a strong editing, design and VFX background to all of his work. As well as his dry, very dry, British wit. He has a child-like love for directing and a passion for filmmaking, and he brings that bubbling enthusiasm to all his shoots.

 

Tom has a BA(Hons) in Film and Television Production from the University of Westminster Film School. When he isn’t directing, he enjoys drawing illustrations and taking long walks with his wife, son and dog.
