> Thomas M. Black is a writer, director, and producer.
His feature screenplay Qualifying was produced at Nu Boyana Film Studios in Sofia, Bulgaria. His short film Headbanging is completing post-production. Androktonos — a survival drama set in ancient Greece — is in pre-production for a 2026 proof-of-concept shoot.
Black has spent twenty years inside the machinery of high-performance sport. Head Coach, University of Georgia women’s volleyball. Former Head Coach, Canadian Women’s National Team. Assistant coach, Team USA · 2016 Rio Olympic Games.
Those years — and the questions they raised — became the engine of his creative work. Every film made here starts with the same question the sport never fully answered.
