TOMMY SMELTZER (circle one)
 
 

He just can’t help himself. The guy likes to end the day saying “I made that!” It’s been his thing since middle school when he directed a parody of Star Wars as a 7th grader. Now he’s making commercial and entertainment properties of all sorts, from film and TV projects, to branded entertainment, to radio and TV commercials and viral videos.


But seriously, he’ll make just about anything, with any tool from any of his many toolboxes -including actual tools in a literal toolbox. When director Tommy wants a door where none exists, carpenter Tommy says, “step aside. I have a table saw.” When editor Tommy says these stock images of Europe are too expensive, shooter Tommy says, “hell, I bet we could shoot it ourselves for the same money or less.” And when writer Tommy comes up with a last minute re-write of the narration, Actor tommy steps into his booth where engineer and sound designer Tommy records and mixes it all.


It gets confusing sometime, but he just can’t help himself. He likes to make stuff.

This guy makes stuff...
