THOMAS DERRIGVideographer | Editor
I’m Thomas, I’m 18 and I’m an aspiring filmmaker and editor. I’ve always had a passion for filmmaking, making my first films at 6 years old – stop motion animations with my Lego sets. I love being able to tell a story through a camera, and BOA has helped me do that, allowing me to gain experience creating short films, multi-camera studio shows, documentary content, and concert photo and videography.

The turnaround time was fast, and the results exceeded expectations. We’ll definitely be engaging Thomas for all future projects.
