Update: RHIFF 2010 on hiatus due to economic conditions. Smiling Z Studios was designated as the production team for the winner of the 2010 RHIFF short screenplay competition.

Currently in development at Smiling Z is Tom's award-winning dramatic feature script, The Smiling Zombie. Successful musical theatre performer Jack Alcott's career is cut short by multiple sclerosis. With the support of his HIV+ partner, he attempts a comeback of sorts with a featured extra role in a no-budget zombie film. A bittersweet human portrait inspired by actual events, The Smiling Zombie examines the performer forced to turn his attention inward and confront his own mortality.

Also in development, Tom's ghost story The Karma Stone and a feature-length version of Greenspoke.
