At age 20, Tom decided he wanted to experiment with making weird movies again. As he drove home he had ideas that would manifest into the no budget film "Telepathic Telephones".
He moved to Chicago where he ended up attending Tribeca Flashpoint Academy. During that time he filmed the Mockumentary "The Curse of the Death Cat". The film was well regarded in the underground Ypsilanti & Detroit music scene. After moving back to the Detroit area, he began what became a disaster of a process filming the art-house science fiction narrative "Telepathic Telephones".

From 2016-2018 he produced, directed and acted in "Psychedelic Psychopaths", another art-house narrative film. In 2017 with Oshka Kuwalski he started the Planet 9 Film Festival for underground cinema & art. Tom also writes & illustrates comic books which tie into the Death Cat Universe of music, movies & live performance. He is a vegan, a practitioner of Buddhist principles and an environmentalist. His work is described as surreal, horror, comic bookish, psychedelic and abstract.
