He creates one-of-a-kind settings that are odd, beautiful, strange, or hilarious, and blends them with grounded and truthful performances. This marriage of a striking and distinctive visual style with memorable characters and witty performances creates a unique comedic style that draws viewers in with the visuals, and keeps them engaged through performance. Thomas's work has screened at festivals like the Toronto International Film Festival and Ciclope, and his work has been shortlisted by the SHOOT New Directors Showcase, the Young Director Awards at Cannes Lions, and One Screen.
