Tomm Moore is a guardian and caretaker of stories and traditions. Together with Nora Twomey and Paul Young, Tomm co-founded the five-time Oscar nominated, Golden Globe nominated, and BAFTA winning studio Cartoon Saloon, headquartered in Kilkenny, Ireland.  Tomm directed three of those Oscar nominated films THE SECRET OF KELLS, SONG OF THE SEA, and WOLFWALKERS all instantly recognizable and deeply foraged in Irish art and lore.

Tomm and I talk creative partnerships, timelessness as a sort of trademark, and his next project KINDRED SPIRITS.
