About The Toms

In a world run by Toms, an isolated man named Tim risks his identity and his life by trying to infiltrate their secret society because he feels that his name is close enough.

The Toms is about exclusion. Isolation. The pressure society puts on us to conform. It’s about the lengths to which people will go to fit in with a group they deem desirable. Tim represents an outsider, and he goes to extreme lengths to transform into someone he is not, for which he pays the price. I wrote this story initially because I kept meeting people named Tom, and as I explored it further, a deeper meaning and themes of conformity, vapidness, and isolation began to emerge. While dark yet comedic in nature, I hope this film shows people that they can truly be themselves—by showing them what could happen if they’re not.
