Terrence Thompson is a 28-year old filmmaker and educator, raised on the Southside of Chicago. Through feature films, television and short-form work, he seeks to interrogate patriarchy and anti-capitalism through a Black and inclusive lens. His latest project, "Drive Slow" (produced by Free Spirit Media, Endangered Peace Productions and Runaway Train Productions) was an official pilot selection at the 2017 New York Television Festival, won best Student Film at the 2017 Gary International Film Festival, and was also nominated for Best Screenplay at the 2017 Midwest Independent Film Awards. In 2019 he was a finalist in the “WeScreenplay Diverse Voices” writing competition for his un-produced pilot “Street Lights”, which was endorsed by The Black List in June of 2020. In addition to co-running Endangered Peace (a local video production company), he is currently developing through Chicago’s OTV 2020 Filmmaking Fellowship.
