Teacher

Tom grew up in Montpellier, France, where he spent most of his childhood talking to himself and inventing stories. He later trained on stage in London before moving to New York to study drama.

After graduating, he founded Mes Films en Couleur, a production company dedicated to telling true stories with a twist—one color at a time. His debut short, Orange, earned an Honorable Mention at Hollywood New Directors. His latest film, Olive, explores memory, love, and identity through the fractured lens of Alzheimer’s.

Tom is passionate about martial arts, sports, and cinema. He’s known to bring the same discipline from the dojo and the same joy he feels in a movie theater into his creative work!

You're Débutant, if...

You just took our Intro to French course. Or, you took high school French… but don’t remember much.

You can say “Je m’appelle…”, but that’s about it!

You have no idea when to use le, la, or li (oh wait, we made that last one up).

You’ve spent some time in a French-speaking country but never managed to pick up more than a couple of words.

Or maybe you live or work with a French speaker, and you’re dying to know what they’re saying!
