Biography

Tom grew up in New Jersey, and is a graduate of Harvard University. He wrote and directed his first film, Lansdown, while working as an attorney at the New York City office of White & Case LLP, one of the 20 most prestigious law firms in the country as ranked by The American Lawyer. Made by a mostly first-time cast and crew on a shoestring budget of less than $50,000, Lansdown won the Best First Feature Award at the Cinequest Film Festival and resulted in the Daily Variety earmarking Tom as "a talent to watch."

After completing Lansdown, Tom moved to Los Angeles with his brother Jeff and high school friend Matt Lendach, collaborators on both Lansdown and Tom's sophomore directing effort Little Athens. He practiced law at the Los Angeles office of O'Melveny & Myers LLP, also one of the 20 most prestigious law firms in the country, before leaving to co-found the Beverly Hills-based entertainment law firm Zuber & Taillieu LLP and film production company Legaci Pictures. Little Athens, an official selection of the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival, is the first production of Legaci Pictures. Tom is repped by ICM, and managed by The Syndicate.
