Tom Browne

Tom Browne’s career in the film industry is basically a masterclass in working your way up, old-school style. He kicked things off in the trenches of UK TV drama, hustling as a PA and then as a 3rd AD, before landing his big break on the Harry Potter films – not the first ones, but from Goblet of Fire all the way to the grand finale. That’s a serious crash course in blockbuster chaos, honestly. From there, Tom didn’t just hang around playing it safe. He leveled up to Floor 2nd and then Key 2nd Assistant Director, gathering every bit of experience he could on a wild range of projects. We’re talking everything from gritty, character-driven dramas like ‘Colette’ and ‘A Private War’ – the kind of films that actually make you feel stuff – to big-budget popcorn flicks like ‘Uncharted’, ‘Venom 2’, and Michael Bay’s explosion-fest ‘6 Underground’. Budget size? Didn’t matter. He was in the thick of it. But it’s not just the UK he’s called home. Tom’s worked at all the major British studios, sure, but he’s also got stamps in his passport from places like Iceland (for ‘Justice League’), Thailand (‘The Meg 2’), and Colombia & Peru (‘Paddington in Peru’), not to mention Latvia, Budapest, Italy, the UAE, Jordan… you get the idea. The guy’s basically the Carmen Sandiego of Assistant Directors. Now, Tom’s a 1st AD, totally obsessed with filmmaking, always chasing the next challenge, and definitely not slowing down anytime soon.
