Hey 👋🏼 I’m Tom.

Content Lead @ Cathedral Studios | Video & Film Producer | Content & Campaign Marketing | Former Studio Owner

I make video and film, and I run the marketing that gets it seen. Fifteen years of both, across games, healthcare, charities and global brands.

Right now I'm Content Lead at Cathedral Studios, where I take trailers from concept to release: capturing in-engine, driving the edit and planning the campaign beats around them across announcements, playtests, festivals and launch. Seven trailers for The Bornless have passed 1.5 million views between them, including a collaboration with Slipknot that was screened at the band's 25th Anniversary Tour.

For nine years before that, I ran Two Cubed Creative, a studio I founded on my own and grew into a full-service production company. At peak, we were producing more than 200 videos a year. Video was the core, but I also ran the work around it: brand and graphic design, websites, client social channels and the campaigns that tied it together. From 2021, I built out a live events strand, starting with virtual and hybrid delivery while in-person events were stopped and carrying it into live production as they returned. I worked as show caller, director and production support for global automotive and beauty brands.

A lot of that work sits under NDA, but plenty doesn't. Seven films for the British Science Festival. A three-year educational film programme for Show Racism the Red Card. Six films for Dementia Adventure. An NHS campaign whose social edit passed 60,000 views on Facebook and got picked up by ITV News Anglia. I closed the studio by choice in 2024, solvent and with client relationships intact.

What I do:

• Video and film production, concept through delivery
• Trailer production and editing
• Live event production and show calling
• Directing, shooting and grading
• Key art, branding and art direction
• Unreal Engine 5 for cinematic capture and production environments
• Production management: schedules, budgets, freelance crew
• Campaign planning and delivery across social, store and community channels
• Content strategy and audience timing

I'm equally happy on the craft and on the plan. I can shoot and cut the thing, and I can run the schedule and budget that gets it delivered. That comes from years of having to do both at once.

Always up for a conversation about production, events or what makes a trailer land. Good coffee never hurts either.
