Brooklyn, NY

Ah, Thomas L. Robinson Jr.! A man whose origin story began, as many epic tales do, in the bustling borough of Brooklyn, NY. But at the tender, *impressionable* age of nine, he upped sticks and ventured to the slightly less gritty shores of Long Island. And what did Long Island greet him with? Not sunshine and lollipops, but Linda Blair's head-spinning performance in *The Exorcist*. Yes, you read that right, *nine years old*. While most kids were still arguing over who got the last cookie, young Thomas was busy acquiring nightmares so vivid they lasted for months. The upside? After surviving that cinematic trauma, literally *nothing* else could scare him. Talk about building resilience! Perhaps as a coping mechanism, or maybe just because he had a delightfully dark imagination, Thomas discovered the joy of writing short stories. His audience, bless their hearts, consistently described them as either "excellent" or "twisted." Thomas, being the pragmatic artist he is, took both as glowing compliments. Fast forward a few years, and Thomas, having mastered the art of unsettling prose, figured out how to format a script. Suddenly, those delightfully twisted tales could be transformed into screenplays! And then, armed with burgeoning camera skills, he decided, "Why just write it when you can *film* it?" Now, Thomas L. Robinson Jr. is the go-to guy for anything that makes you check under your bed twice. His specialties? Horror (naturally), supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. His written words are now morphing into web-based film shorts, garnering responses that are, shall we say, overwhelmingly *enthusiastic*. He's just wrapped his inaugural feature film, "A Beach House in The Hamptons," and is currently conjuring up its sequel, "Dune Road," alongside a YouTube series. But wait, there's more! His first full-blown horror movie, "Born into Darkness"-a vampire flick, no less-is sharpening its fangs for production in the coming months. Thomas L. Robinson Jr.: turning childhood trauma into cinematic gold, one nightmare at a time.
