Agent: Julian Friedmann

Biography: Tom began his career as a writer by sweeping the floors at the Air Recording Studio in Oxford Street, London. While humming a tune as he worked, he met some of the musicians and artists who were recording there, and before long was working in collaboration as a songwriter and session guitarist.

He wrote a number five hit for Robert Plant, and went on to write four more top 20 hits for bands such as Marillion, as well as working with producer Trevor Horn.

Turning his hand to writing stage plays, Tom wrote The Last Days of Arrow which had an extended run at the Colony Theater, Los Angeles, and A Good Day to Live, for The Broad Stage. He also wrote Deceptively Pleasing for the Stag Theatre, Sevenoaks.

For television, Tom worked on the Dawn French series Murder Most Horrid. He then worked on long-running BBC soap opera Eastenders, as a storyline writer, and on Rockface for ITV.

Moving onto film, he was awarded the UK Film Consortium Bursary Prize for his Italian based screenplay, The Man From Rome. He wrote Marines for Nu-Image Productions, filmed in Sofia, and Volcano, filmed in Plovdiv for Millennium Films.

Tom has recently written the story for the upcoming film INFERNUS – with Luther’s Idris Elba both starring and taking to the director’s chair – which will film in late 2023, as well as writing for three more projects, RIVER OF BLOOD, DAMAGED and THE BETRAYAL all set to film in the coming months.
