Tom Pethick

Thomas James Pethick was born in Swindon, Wiltshire in 1996. He enjoyed a happy and comfortable upbringing, raised just outside the town in the village of Wanborough. From a young age, Pethick enjoyed movie making, from short stop motion pieces for his classwork to comedy shorts with his friends, recording them in his attic on his fathers camera. He began a more serious relationship with film and acting aged 14, where he began taking parts in plays and school productions. By 16, he'd written full length plays and screenplays and by 17 Pethick had set up his own film production company, Epicentre Entertainment. His first short release came in June 2014 when he wrote, directed, acted and produced "Delirium". A month later, he released another short, "Yourself". Although foremost a director and writer, Pethick achieved critical and public acclaim for his debut performance on-stage at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival in new show "Faith". The critics described his first international festival showing as "The Stand Out Performance" and "Truly Marvellous".
