<p>“Tom is an incredibly unique and talented filmmaker. 'PROCESS' made use of endangered processes and technologies, as well as expired film stock, to explore the nature of creativity and the hands-on craft of filmmaking.<br /></p> <p>"It is a beautiful piece of work and a well-deserved for all its plaudits.”</p>
