Tom Seymour is best known for the New York Times-celebrated VHS Massacre documentaries (NBC/Universal Peacock).

In addition Tom's films have screened at top genre festivals such as Cine-Excess, Torino Underground, Boston Underground and NH Docs at Yale University. In 2025 Video Dreams: A VHS Massacre Story was praised by top Independent film festival Dances with Films calling it "profound". Seymour’s feature film career began at the tail end of the 1990s independent film movement while he was working at CBS News. He produced and acted in John Krasinski’s first feature (A New Wave), directed Aubrey Plaza in one of her earliest digital shorts (Daddy’s Little Judge), and even appeared on The Tonight Show as part of the viral short Easter Bunny Hates You. Despite mainstream attention, Seymour remains rooted in independent and underground filmmaking. His films have been distributed by NBCUniversal’s Peacock TV, Mubi, Netflix DVD, Troma, Screambox, Vinegar Syndrome, and Cineverse, and have been covered by major outlets including Variety, NPR, and The New York Times. With his numerous wins from top underground film festivals and institutions over the decade, Tom has slowly emerged as a top tier underground documentary filmmaker in the U.S.
