Tomas was born in London on 16th April 1980. He worked at MTV UK and for TANK magazine where he was exposed to production, editing and experimental artistic photography techniques for the first time. With these two very different creative experiences ruminating, Tomas moved to Los Angeles to study cinematography. He secured his first feature film job as a cinematographer straight out of film school. In the following twelve years, Tomas worked all over the world but mainly in Hollywood shooting a variety of projects such as art films, music videos, short films, narrative features, and documentaries. REM is Tomas’s first foray as a feature film director.
