Tom Campbell

Bio

Tom Campbell’s work seems to be a combination between pure talent and effort – it effortlessly straddles the worlds of commercial, narrative, and documentary. Equipped with a photographic eye, strong sense for aesthetics and a screenwriter’s sensibility, Tom is able to extract moving performances from non-actors and trained professionals alike. Always looking for the core of the project, as well as never seen before moments, Tom does what he knows how to best – tells a story that needs to be told. His work includes directing campaigns for Samsung, Bank of Melbourne, Dairy Farmers, Boys Do Cry, and the Dylan Alcott Foundation. His recent short film The Bends was nominated for an AACTA award for Best Short Form Drama and premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival 2021, where it was selected to take part in the acclaimed Accelerator Lab for emerging directors. Currently, Tom is developing the feature film Murder Ballad with the support of Film Victoria.
