Cinderella story, boy from nowhere. Tom Richer has worked in the film
industry since he volunteered on numerous A.F.I. student projects at
the Doheny Mansion, while attending film school at a palm tree league
university where he graduated. While still in college
he talked his way onto the set of a low budget, non-union, (This is
before such projects were called "Independent"), and worked as an
electrician for free, this led to his first paying job as an
electrician for a Ringo Starr TV special on NBC. Other features and
film projects followed, and he started his career.
The move to Locations was a natural as Tom is a L.A. native, an endangered species. Along with the IMDb resume credits Tom has worked on over 1,500 commercials and music videos. Including, many he produced or production managed.
He worked for production companies as diverse as R. S. A., A Band Apart, I. L. M., Artist's Co./A & R Group, D. N. A., H. S. I., Palomar, Sony Music, Planet Pictures & Propaganda,
For artists like Bruce Springsteen, Jane's Addiction, Jewel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ice Cube, D. J. Quik, Frank Black, & Rosanne Cash.
And products like basically every car company including Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW, and Porsche, also McDonalds, Budweiser, Coors, & Coca Cola.
A few years ago Tom left the film business to concentrate on some personal projects. No he didn't go into rehab. He's been working on his book/website called "Cult of the Stupid.com".
He now resides in W. L. A. and writes scripts.
