Tom Abell chats to me in a bustling artisan cafe in St Leonards. He’s quietly spoken , urbane and matter-of-fact in his conversation.
Yet he’s helped to spearhead the rise of LGBTQ+ film production and distribution and is now at the forefront of a worldwide business.He’s always been in the movie business.
After studying 3-D design, Tom went to work for Rank Video . His first job was loading cassettes into mass duplication banks and then quality controlling their output.
