QUOTES

Matt Molgaard Addicted to Horror Movies

(on #SCREAMERS) “The performances from Tom Malloy and Chris Bannow are unbelievable. We’re talking, genuinely unbelievable. Malloy and Bannow look like certified A-class talent. They may not be household names at this point, but this is highly refined and wildly convincing work.”

Peter Foldy Hollywood Revealed

(On Hero of the Underword) “Giving a believable, heart-felt performance as the wounded “Dylan,” he hits all the right notes. Malloy carries the film and helps elevate “Hero of the Underworld” to the top of this year’s indie releases.  Raw and emotional, “Hero of the Underworld” is a winner.”

John Stanley San Francisco Chronicle

(On Love N’ Dancing) “At the center of this low-budget triumph which blends colorful characters with lively musical sequences, is Tom Malloy.”
