The Tooth Fairy (2023)
Director
True-crime obsessed filmmaker Jennifer faces a psychological spiral when she comes into contact with her latest subject - a disturbed yet charismatic serial killer with an unusual hobby.
Made as part of the BFI Film Academy x National Film and Television School Craft Skills Residential 2023
“Tom has been a pleasure to work with. From the beginning of the process he has maintained a clear vision of the film, and steered the "creative ship" in that direction, bringing the cast and crew along with him on the journey. Despite his clear vision, this has never swayed into becoming an autocrat - as he is always open, eager and willing to hear everyone's ideas, and welcoming them if they service the film. I was particularly impressed with Tom's ability to work with actors, giving precise and clear notes, straying away from "result" directions, and collaborating with all of the actors. The film has been really serviced by some excellent performances that his direction has managed to find.”
- Filmmaker and NFTS graduate Ben Hunter
