Thomas Willey | Media Arts
"The Maine Arts Commission’s Fellowships reward artistic excellence, advance the careers of Maine artists and promote public awareness regarding the eminence of the creative sector in Maine. The awards are made solely on the basis of artistic excellence. A lifetime resident of Southwest Harbor, Thomas Willey's work has included camera assisting in the Motion Picture and Television industry since 1990. While he has traveled for many a grand film project, Thom says he really enjoys producing small documentaries that are of local importance. Thom’s current film project is the documentary, “It's Only Right", centered around a Maine teacher, his junior scientists, and a Right Whale named Calvin."
