Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Thomas is the youngest of the Affolter brothers, though he compensates for this fact by also being the tallest. He’s been writing, producing, and directing award-winning films since he was a teenager, and has directed over 50 short films, TV episodes, commercials, music videos, web series, and pieces of original branded content. Also an accomplished editor and cinematographer, Thomas strives to challenge both the mind and the heart with the power of storytelling. Collaboration is at the heart of his creative process, and he enjoys working with his three brothers not only because they make him a better filmmaker, but because Thomas likes to talk a lot - and his brothers know when to tell him to shut up. Along with everyone at Foreshadow Films, Thomas is dedicated to creating unique, compelling stories that challenge our perception of the world, and of ourselves… while also having a few laughs along the way.
Working together since before they called it work, the Affolter brothers have dedicated themselves to telling unique, compelling stories, from light-hearted comedies to heavy dramas and everything in between. In 2006, the four brothers founded Foreshadow Films (formerly Affolter Entertainment), a Vancouver-based production company focusing on original content for film, TV and the web. Collaboration is key among the brothers. They share the writer, producer and director credit on all of their projects, and they pride themselves on creating a family atmosphere on every one of their film sets. Since the company’s inception, the brothers’ films, commercials and music videos have played in dozens of film festivals worldwide and have won or been nominated for over 75 awards.
