Thomas J. Churchill, also known as "Church," is an American writer, director, and producer who founded Church Hill Productions, an independent film company based on the Sunset Las Palmas Studio Lot in Hollywood, USA. Churchill and his producing partner, Aleksandra Zorich Hunt, aim to create and develop entertaining projects in various genres, including horror, action, dramas, and thrillers.
Churchill's work has been featured in numerous films and television shows, with his latest project being the horror thriller "The 3 Killer Pigs," set for a 2025 limited theatrical release. He is also known for his unique take on the Amityville lore with his own trilogy, "The Amityville Harvest," "The Amityville Moon," and "Amityville Uprising," all distributed through LIONSGATE.
Churchill has written, directed, and produced over 13 titles for various companies, with some of his films having been available through Redbox for over a year and distributed through Lionsgate, Starz, Peacock, Amazon Prime, BET-Plus, Tubi, Pluto TV, Hulu, and Netflix, among others. Three of his thrillers are currently streaming on the Peacock Network.
Born in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn and raised in Queens, New York, Churchill is of Italian, Irish, and English descent. His mother is Italian, and his father is Irish/English-born. Churchill was the youngest of four children, and his first award came early, the "Doctor of Storytelling" award from a daycare center when he was just five years old.
Churchill's passion for acting and entertainment began at an early age, and at the age of seven, he was in the top five for the remake of the film "The Champ." Although the part went to actor Rick Schroder, Churchill did not let this discourage him. The same year, he met film and sports icon Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, whom he would later direct in "Check Point" and the upcoming action film "The Avenging Angel."
It was in his sophomore year in high school that Churchill convinced his father to buy him a video camera, a full-sized VHS, so he could bring his vision to life as an actor in the film "The War Master." The film, about two teenage cops fighting the drug problem in their neighborhood, went on to win several local awards, and Churchill was published in several newspapers, including the New York Daily News, New York Newsday, The Ridgewood Times, and The Queens Tribune.
This experience changed Churchill's life, and he went from being an actor to a storyteller. Today, Churchill is living his dream in Hollywood, with numerous awards, writing, directing, producing, and acting credits under his belt. His films have been picked up by streamers, networks, and studios.
In addition to his film work, Churchill has also branched out to create his own show, "Church's Hollywood Moments," available on YouTube. Fans can support him by hitting the "Subscribe," "Like," and "Notify" buttons on his page.
