Trick Candle Productions

Quality Independent Films Since 2005

About Us

Trick Candle Productions is the production company founded in 2005 by Tom Malloy — actor, writer, producer, and director. For over two decades, Tom has trail-blazed the role of the multi-hyphenate filmmaker, raising millions for independent films and delivering quality cinema across every genre.

Trick Candle is known for its independent films with a distinct voice, spanning drama, thriller, horror, and romance. Many productions have earned festival premieres and wide theatrical releases, with cast rosters featuring Oscar winners and Hollywood veterans.

Tom also co-founded Glass House Distribution (acquired by StudioDome, where he now serves as COO) and authored Bankroll — the gold-standard book on indie film financing.
