Tom Hammock

Tom Hammock is a production designer. Hammock was raised in Northern California, where his father researched venoms, insects, and other unusual creatures. This pursuit shaped many of the family's wilderness-focused vacations. His early life was marked by travel, including extended living abroad in Australia and England. After settling down for a time—a development greatly pleased his mother—Hammock pursued a degree in landscape architecture at UC Berkeley.

His interest in visual storytelling led him to the American Film Institute, where he studied production design. Hammock has since built an extensive career deg films, with credits including You're Next, The Guest, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, Blair Witch, and The Devil's Candy. In addition to film work, he occasionally teaches and reviews design at institutions such as the Directing Workshop for Women, AFI, and UC Berkeley.

Now based in Hollywood, Hammock balances production design with writing graphic novels. His debut graphic novel, An Aurora Grimeon Story: Will O' the Wisp, illustrated by Megan Hutchison, marked his entry into publishing. Notable design credits include Blindspotting (which opened Sundance 2018), the Amazon Studios series Them, Godzilla vs Kong for director Adam Wingard, and X and Pearl for Ti West and A24.
