A powerful show can captivate you beyond understanding. Pull you in for hours or even years. Sure maybe it’s just a character but sometimes you can find yourself in them or sometimes they even feel real to you in your heart. I believe proper cinema engulfs your every emotion for each minute it’s rolling. The last 13 years Cillian Murphys portrayal of Thomas Shelby in peakyblinders did just that for me. 

As a creative with a huge imagination it’s hard to explain that when I watch a show, a movie or video how it brings my entire internal universe to another world. I truly can feel like I’m in it. My brain and body react to the actions and emotions happening on screen. I can dream and live it so vividly. 

So It may be silly to others for me cosplaying this but I’ve produced copious amounts of videos the last 7 years portraying the series because I truly loved it that much. It will be one of my favorite shows forever. Truthfully I didn’t care for the films storyline much, because I was so invested in so many other moving parts from the previous seasons. But I won’t let that take away all I’ve enjoyed this last decade. 

Thank you to Steven Knight for the show, Cillian Murphy for Tommy, Paul Anderson for his incredible Arthur, Helen Mcroy (RIP💔) for the brilliant Polly Gray, Sophia Rundle for wonderful Aida, Finn and Joe Cole for the fantastic John and Michael, the immeasurable Tom Hardy for Alfie Solomon and every single hardworking person from actor to crew that created this show. I will cherish it forever as it has been a large part of my life’s entertainment and for that I’m forever grateful. So I made this short film style video as a nod to one of my favorite characters ever created. May you get rest you’ve always desired Tommy
