About

2nd Assistant Director, on a fast track to 1st.

Tom Mazza is a 2nd Assistant Director and DGA member based in South Florida, working across national commercial productions. He's built a track record on high-stakes sets, helping deliver campaigns for brands including Lowe's, Apple TV+, Hyundai, Lay's, Michelob Ultra, and Hard Rock — among them three campaigns featuring Lionel Messi and a Super Bowl spot.

Trusted with A-list talent, elite athletes, and top-tier influencers, Tom pairs sharp logistical control with the calm, collaborative energy that keeps fast-paced productions on schedule and on budget. Now a rising 1st AD, he bridges the director's vision and the crew's execution — keeping every department aligned before the camera rolls.
