*****

As an actor, writer and producer, Tom is a passionate and driven filmmaker committed to telling compelling stories with a commercial appeal.

The roster of films produced by Malloy over the years includes, 2020’s LANSKY, starring Harvey Keitel, Sam Worthington, and Minka Kelly, LOVE N’ DANCING, which was directed by Rob Iscove (She’s All That), and stars Amy Smart, Malloy, Billy Zane, Rachel Dratch, and Betty White; the psychological thriller THE ALPHABET KILLER, directed by Rob Schmidt (Wrong Turn) and stars Eliza Dushku, Cary Elwes, Malloy, Timothy Hutton, Michael Ironside, and Oscar Winner Melissa Leo; and a thriller directed by Mary Lambert (Pet Sematary) called THE ATTIC, starring John Savage, Malloy, and Elisabeth Moss.

Many film projects are developed through the production company he founded in 2005, Trick Candle Productions.

Trick Candle Productions is known for its quality independent films that span a variety of genres. Trick Candle has most recently produced TRAUMA THERAPY, a thriller starring Brian Krause and Chase Coleman, #SCREAMERS, a found footage horror which was twice reviewed as the BEST Found Footage Movie Ever, HERO OF THE UNDERWORLD, starring Malloy, Nicole Fox, and Quinton Aaron, and FAIR HAVEN, starring Tom Wopat and Michael Grant, as well as the teen drama ASHLEY, starring Nicole Fox, Michael Madsen and Jennifer Taylor, written by Domenic Migliore, and directed by Dean Ronalds.

In 2016, Malloy co-founded the sales and distribution company Glass House Distribution. Glass House maintains a presence at AFM, EFM, and Cannes, and has grown each year, recently adding a TV sales department.

Malloy’s unique ability to both write projects and raise the funding for them has been a primary factor in the success of the company. In fact, Malloy shared his expertise on the subject in his best-selling book about independent film financing, BANKROLL, which had two editions and was considered the “gold standard book” of indie film financing.

In 2019, Malloy co-founded FilmMakingStuffHQ, the premiere online training platform for filmmakers.
