“I had read the script of ‘The Other Tom’ three years ago and always liked the story,” said Outsider Pictures’ Paul Hudson, who relates how he continued to track the film’s progress from then on. “The heart of the film is the complicated relationship between mother and son that I think any parent can relate to, anywhere in the world,” he added. Its trailer bows exclusively here:
For Plá and Santullo, the story of Tom came to them after a long period of research on ADHD and other child behavioral issues. As long-time partners who have two sons between them, the story resonated with them even more. “My mother is a child psychoanalyst so she provided us with a lot of material,” Plá told.
Citing a Washington Post article which said, in essence, that “If Tom Sawyer were alive today, he’d probably be medicated up to his eyebrows,” inspired them to name their lead character Tom and explains the title. “A child who’s too restless or too active is considered problematic these days,” Santullo concurred.
Their lead actors Julia Chavez and Israel Rodriguez Bertorelli are both non-pro as is the rest of the cast. “We developed workshops in various places and cast people whose lives were quite similar to the roles they would play,” they said.
