We had the good fortune of connecting with thomas angeletti and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi thomas, why did you pursue a creative career?
I dont think that one pursues a creative career, I think that creativity pursues the creative. The universe gives that creative a chance, and they either risk everything they know to create, or they just let the opportunity pass by.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I live to tell stories in visual form. I think my work ethic and unwavering commitment to making art in its purest form is what sets me apart. I will do things ” the hard way” every time if it means not sacrificing the quality of of the film. Nothing in a true journey is easy, but I’ve had an amazing support system to help push me to where i am today. I’ve learned that you are the true source of creativity. Not your equipment or social media, or people.. Everything begins and ends with you.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to all the cool parks we have in Columbus. We would hike/walk to the amazing waterfalls that we take for granted here. I would them take them out for some great food and drinks around the areas. Taking people to dive bars and restaraunts are my favorite activites. Depending on the vibe, This list could be endless.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people that are responsible for my success. I dont think I have the space to name them all. I would love to shoutout Alexander Rogers, Sam Correia, and Ira Cross for allowing me the opportunity to make my first solo film “PROPOSED”, that was absolutely terrible lol! . Then I made a film called PERDITION where Maddy Averesch, Michelle Carney, Paige Hoover,a bunch of other amazing folk and myself made our first feature film ever. It was quite an experience and I credit these people and the respective projects for allowing me to be the person/creative I am today.

Lastly, Id love to shoutout our crew as they support me 100% and empower me to do whatever I can to make amazing films. Those Names would be Robert Morris, Paige Hoover, Maya Ahmed, Alex Johnson, William Stanely, Timothy J Cox, Patrick Johnston, and many many more.
