Tom Sweeney
I'm a writer & director based in Wellington, New Zealand. In 2020, I graduated with a Level 5 Diploma in Screen Production and have worked in the industry since, with experience mainly as an Assistant Director. My writer/director credits include 'Willowstone', which garnered several awards and has amassed nearly 170,000 views, as well as 'Old Moon', a werewolf horror with nearly 40,000 views. I have worked as a writer for other directors, with my latest project being 'A Distant Voice', directed by Hayden Smith.
My main film inspirations are Sergio Leone, Robert Eggers, and Terrence Malick. I love creating stories that are slower paced, thought-provoking, and focus on deeply human emotions.

Tom's Live Project
‘Til I Die
Paul has drifted through life, battling the inner demons that sought to isolate him from those he loves. After death takes the woman he loved, he reflects on his life and where things went wrong. ‘Til I Die is an intimate, non-linear drama with strong elements of psychological and poetic cinema. A meditation on grief, depression, loneliness, and the fear of generational emotional harm.
