Hi there.
My name is Thomas J. Padden. I'm a Boston based I.A.T.S.E. Local 11 Union member and freelancer in the industry of Film, Theater, and Events. I am a writer, director, camera operator, editor, animator, designer, grip, gaffer, electrician, audio engineer, carpenter, stagehand, rigger, driver, photographer, runner, and barista. On cold, clear nights, you can still hear me making movies, setting stages, and telling tales.
