Mike David Thomas
Cinematographer | Photographer | Award-Winning Filmmaker | Archivist | Higher Educator | Designer

Film Tour Studio was designed as an encompassing production and archive studio for commercial, grassroots and small budget film and photo projects. I’m an award-winning filmmaker who garnered recognition for crafting compelling and stimulating visual storytelling as a documentary director, cinematographer and photographer.

My work is deeply rooted in the experimentation of blending my abilities as a filmmaker, photographer and archivist. I’m in the post-production stage of my next debut short film and photo series highlighting individual truth and expression shot on Kodak 16mm motion film and Fujifilm instax film. 

I am a 2023 Oprah Winfrey Leaders Scholars mentor, a 2023 Chicago International Film Festival Documentary Short Film Competition “Special Mention” awardee, 2021 Webby & Tribeca X winner and a 2020 Roger Ebert Sundance Institute Fellowship nominee.
