blink-182, Angels & Airwaves, and
To The Stars, here to talk all about his debut feature film
Monsters Of California.As a longtime fan of Tom’s, it was a treat to host this conversation and hear about his evolution into filmmaking first hand. We discuss the origin story of
Monsters, how Tom’s band
Angels & Airwaves sparked his interest in cinema, and Tom’s directorial approach to making this film.
Tom also speaks to how his DIY roots in punk music informed his approach while filming, resulting in innovative tactics that helped him achieve stunning production value as an indie production.
