Tamás Körmendi (born July 18, 2000) is a Hungarian actor, director, and film producer professionally known as Tom Rounbon. He is best known for his own made works such as A Dream. His other films and productions include The Dream (2016), The Dream 2 (2019), Shattered World (2020), Cortez Show (2020). Tom established his own production company called Hellhouse Pictures and created his productions under this label.
Early life and family
Tamás Körmendi was born on July 18, 2000, in Győr to Renáta and Attila Körmendi. He has two siblings, an older brother Attila and a younger sister Klaudia. During his childhood, Tom entertained the idea of becoming a farmhand. He loved to be around the fields driving tractors with his grandpa. However, as the years flew by, he attended a mechanical school in the downtown of Győr. He graduated with fair marks but was not happy with the subjects he was learning and decided to pursue the entertainment industry. In 2017 he applied to an acting course, but his parents did not have the funds for the upcoming fees.
Acting career
In 2016 he already started to make his very first amateur short film The Dream. The premiere was in his secondary school during a regular lesson (he also made it available on YouTube). The audience was not impressed by the quality of the film, however, this did not stop Rounbon from making a direct sequel to his movie The Dream 2. Building from the criticism, he established a longer and more complex story for his new film. Released on April 8, 2019. The movie got mixed reviews from the locals who had seen it, while it only had one language, English. This caused the film to have even fewer views on video platforms. After about two months after the release, some streaming platforms picked up the movie for a small fee. This made Rounbon more dedicated to putting more effort into his movies.
After making his second feature movie, in 2019 he started to look for other directions in filmmaking. Rounbon took free courses in animation. This year he directed his very first animated short, Shattered World. As with all his productions, Shattered World also contained horror elements with a sense of humor. Next to directing, producing, and voice acting the characters in his films, Rounbon began to produce original songs and soundtracks for both animated and live-action productions. Simply named Hellhouse Records, all of the soundtracks were released on the official YouTube page of Hellhouse Pictures .
In 2020 Rounbon produced another animated short based on the Hungarian talk show Monika Show, the Cortez Show. This is the first animated short that has two separate languages, Hungarian and English. To capture the essence of the Hungarian language, he made an extra effort to synchronize the short, however, the views did not reflect the work he was putting in. Rounbon continued to make sequels to his already made shorts. In 2020 the sequel to Shattered World was released on YouTube with barely more views than the first episode. Tom also made a spin-off music video starring StickGuy from the Shattered World for a music competition.
In 2021 Rounbon released his third feature film, the reboot of his original The Dream, simply called A Dream. This episode contained the story of the first and the second film with a great spin on the source material. The film was the first of his that contained animated elements of simplistic CGI. The running time was also improved from 40 minutes to more than an hour. It gained better criticism than the last two films, but the views were again under his expectations.
Music Career
In 2018 Rounbon tried producing rap music. He wrote lyrics about his life experiences, mostly about the sad parts of it. His first single Guilty was about some terrible stories he was experiencing in elementary school. Released on every major streaming platform, Tom did not gain enough streams to stand out. After the release of his first single, Rounbon produced a full-length album named Freestyle, however, he never released it to any streaming platforms, only some snippets on YouTube. In 2021, for the release of the new Spiral theatrical movie, Tom produced a tie-in song JigSaw to compete with 21 Savage's song named Spiral.
