my name is tom estall.

I am an aspiring filmmaker from Surrey.

I've always been fascinated by the weird and wonderful side of film and life as a whole. Being on the spectrum has given me a unique perspective on human interaction and the ties that bind us all. This, coupled with my love of the films of David Lynch, Danny Boyle and the Coen Brothers, has fuelled my ambition to tell the stories of the often ignored and tell them in a unique way, no matter the topic or genre.

there I am.

I have recently graduated from The University of Winchester with an estimated 2:1 in Film Production (BA Hons). My main specialties are in screenwriting and direction, but have also dipped my toe into 2D animation and editing. I also have an extensive background in theatre, acting in over 10 youth theatre plays, including one at the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I also have a passion for comedy and film criticism, which I put into a Youtube video essay series discussing undervalued films from my childhood.

My main hobbies involve reading graphic novels, binge watching sitcoms, playing video games and of course, watching movies. My favourite movies are The Big Lebowski, La Haine, Blue Velvet and The Thing (1982).
