Thomas (often called "German Tom" or "Schubert") is an international student that joined YSTV as a fresher in 2017. He soon became one of the most active members of that year, taking part in and leading a wide range of productions. In late spring term, he replaced [[Dan Maher]] as treasuer after a by-election. He was re-elected into this position at that year's AGM, but later took over as [[Production Director]] from [[Courtney Brotherson]] in another by-election. He spent a lot of time throughout his second year creating new films and shows, while working hard on improving existing programmes such as [[YSTV Reports]] and the station's branding. Usually, he was active as director, camera operator or editor. | Thomas (often called "German Tom" or "Schubert") is an international student that joined YSTV as a fresher in 2017.

It must also be noted that Thomas is one of the most lovely, kind, hardworking and modest individuals to have ever been part of YSTV.

Coming to York as an international student, Thomas had no idea YSTV even existed until the day he arrived at uni. After stepping out of the bus from the airport, he was greeted by none other than [[Raquel Bartra]]. She suggested he should join YSTV, which he did the week after Freshers’ Week. | |||
The first productions he worked on were the weekly instalments of [[Coffee House Sessions]], where he got to know most of the older and also new members of the station. Very soon, he realized that YSTV was the society he enjoyed the most. He ran for [[OB and Events Coordinator]] at a by-election early in the term, but lost to [[Stephanie Shires]]. This was the first time they properly met, despite doing the same course and should be the beginning of a wonderful friendship. | The first productions he worked on were the weekly instalments of [[Coffee House Sessions]], where he got to know most of the older and also new members of the station.

The first major production he was involved in was the [[Christmas Massacre]] livestream. He pitched to producer [[Iona McEwan]] that the show should be bookended by two found-footage style horror VTs, which included jumpscares, a weirdly extensive lore and [[Katherine Bell]] being revealed as the evil Killer Santa. Subsequently, he was tasked with writing, directing and editing these VTs. During the shoot, he worked with several soon-to-be key members of the station, an experience he enjoyed so much he started planning his own first big production: | The first major production he was involved in was the [[Christmas Massacre]] livestream.

Over the winter holidays, Thomas wrote the script for [[Hidden]], a short film drama. Pre-production for the film would begin early into spring term with support from [[Anastasia Arsentyeva]], [[Richard Jones]] and [[Stephanie Shires]]. At the same time, he got involved in several other major productions – most notably the [[YUSU Elections 2018]]. During the different livestreams and video shoots he regularly worked with [[Production Director]] [[Edwin Barnes]], for example as editor for the ERN Intro video or as wireless camera OP for the live broadcasts. He would later regularly reprise these roles. | Over the winter holidays, Thomas wrote the script for [[Hidden]], a short film drama.
