My name is Tomas Gold, and I am an award-winning filmmaker. My works have received praise from filmmaking contemporaries & writers, and have been official selections at film festivals in England & Wales, and around the world, in countries such as the USA, Italy, Germany and Bosnia & Herzegovina, being nominated for multiple awards, with a win coming in the form of a Special Mention prize at the 2017 Winchester Short Film Festival. I also work with various musicians, directing, filming & editing music videos.
My latest short films are Composing the Trees and Hollie, a Skater.
I have also worked in other creative mediums, most recently as cinematographer for a visual art installation entitled Trachea by artist R.M. Templeton, and as co-director for an original theatre production, The Sylvia Swing, which premiered on 2nd November, 2019 at the Studio Theatre - York Theatre Royal.
In the corporate/commercial world, I have worked with well-known, national brands such as Kettle Chips, Barratt, Poppets!, Metcalfe's Popcorn and others, in creating an array of videos to promote their business.
