Tom Appler is from Queensbury, New York. As a child, Tom was drawn to the bizarre images, tension, scares, and the macabre that was created in the horror film genre. As Tom grew older, he learned to appreciate the effort it took to create those images and tensions, and as a result, appreciated the effort it took to make films of all genres as a whole. Tom gives and thrives on passion, excitement, and enthusiasm while making projects of all kinds. Drawn to the creativity and that same passion, has been part of the film-making process with the founder of Snarky Aardvark Films, Caitlin Stedman since 2012. Tom has been sound engineer and overall “Jack of all Trades" on Snarky Aardvark related creations, doing whatever is needed for the best of the project. His goal is to help create films and projects that will affect and entertain viewers on a positive level while also experiencing the enjoyment of creating something special out of nothing. Some of Tom’s favorite filmmakers include John Carpenter, Gareth Evens, Tim Burton, Edgar Wright, Wes Craven, Stephen Spielberg, Matthew Vaughn, James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Joe Dante, Robert Rodriguez, Guillermo Del Toro, Sam Raimi, Richard Donner, Chuck Russell, Rob Reiner, Shane Black, Isaac Florentine, and Tommy Wirkola.
