Winner of the runner up "Honorary Award" at The Topanga Film Festival. Tom got the bloody head-gash makeup from a student film he was acting in. He wrote the script for Jacques Cousteu as he drove home at 3am with the makeup still on, scaring drivers at intersections. He actually hung himself off his third floor balcony for the final shot. His next door neighbors just happened to be coming home early in the morning and were amazed to see Tom hanging off the building in his scuba suit.
'Jacques Cousteau: Above the Ocean' was selected to the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival and official submission to the Cannes Film Festival.
Some of the paleontological findings by Tom during the film have been documented as far back as the 5th century BC.
