Statement from the Director:
(Tom Choi grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and
graduated with a drama degree from the University of Washington in Seattle and
film school at LACC School of Cinema.
Trauma represents Tom's second foray into the festival scene. The first being
his historical short film "Enemies Closer."
Tom is a working actor along with producing and directing appearing on numerous
television shows and films.
Please check out his website at www.tensionfilms.com for more information and

Trauma is a cross genre short film involving the mobster
world of hitmen with supernatural hauntings.
If I did my job correctly, the viewer should be in a constant state of curiosity
and unsettlement as he or she will go journey to find a disturbing and bloody
past that our hero must reluctantly face.
Many questions will arise as to the supernatural nature of his journey and also
to his true past profession. These questions may not all be answered in one
viewing, but the answers are there. And the puzzle waits to be solved.
Thank you for your interest and enjoy.
