About Us
We're husband & wife team Tom Downing & Natasha Coppola-Shalom. We don't just act in our films. We take them to next level delivery in all phases.
XO was incepted with Tom's late mother in mind - it was something she signed at the end of Thank You cards and care packages. But it was the wise woman behind those two simple letters who helped so many and always strived for truth. We think about her everyday.
We look for powerful and rich storytelling with a family-style production atmosphere.
-Tom & Tash
