Thomas W Spence

Hello! I am Thomas (Tom, Tommy, doesn't matter as long it's a form of Tom) Spence, nice to meet you! I started my filmmaking career taking a screenwriting & video production class in high school, making simple class project videos like PSA's and music video's. I was always confused on what I wanted to do with my life, as most classes in school felt like busywork and didn't take much interest, but that first video production class changed everything. For the first time, I partook in class discussions constantly, and didn't groan when the teacher announced a project is being assigned.

Jokes aside, that is when I found out what I wanted to do with my life. In college, I enrolled at the New York Film Academy in Manhattan, with a BFA in Filmmaking. There I learned more than just writing and taking a camera and shooting, I learned the ins and outs of every position one can be when a film is being made. During my time at NYFA, I wrote, directed, and, produced two short films for my capstone, "Best Seller", and "Scam Likely", which are being submitted to festivals.

I also have been a background actor for Amazon Prime shows like "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" and "Shelter", you can see me if you pause the show exactly at a specific frame!
