Tom Nador is the founder and driving force behind Laszlo Rain. From his humble beginnings as a camera operator and equipment technician, Tom has built one of the premier production facilities in Texas; one with growing national and international capabilities.

The "L" in L. Thomas stands for Laszlo. The moniker has become Laszlo's creative signature -namely, a unique style of working with seasoned pros that take a tribal approach to projects.T Born in Montreal of Hungarian parents, Tom spent his youth as a promising junior hockey prospect. He began a pre-medicine education only to fall in love with film production in his junior year. Jobs as a cameraman and editor for television news and documentaries honed his skills, and advertising and marketing opened his eyes to a more artistic impression.

As the head of in-house production at Anderson Advertising in San Antonio, Tom was able to generate enough project growth to spin off his first venture, Shootz Productions, replacing the agency's need to outsource commercial production. He refined this model, founding both Laszlo Pictures and Rain Studio as full-service production boutiques for ad agencies and independent producers.

In 2002, he expanded the regional production offerings under the unified identity known today as Laszlo Rain. Tom's dedication to his craft and his mastery of multiple roles from director to executive producer has yielded a commercial production facility unlike any other. And his love and respect for the business and his growing list of clients has never varied.

He is married to Szilvia, with two young children, Skyler and Tristen and still patrols the ice in San Antonio's adult hockey leagues.


As Laszlo Rain's senior producer, Fernando draws on over fifteen years production experience to oversee the details of your shoot. His life in film has encompassed features like Syriana and Miss Congeniality, to shorts, documentaries and commercials. He's had stints at every crew position along the way.

An honors graduate in film from University of Texas at Austin, he lives in San Antonio with his wife and two daughters.


With over fifteen years of marketing and advertising experience, Rebecca is the newest addition to our team heading up our internal marketing efforts and allowing us to offer new services to our clients. Having worked locally at both Hispanic and General market agencies, she's supervised accounts of all sizes for local, regional and national clients.

A native of San Antonio with a BA from Incarnate Word University, she lives in San Antonio with her husband, two sons, eight dogs and cat. They have a soft spot for strays.


With over twenty years experience in ad agencies in Chicago and Dallas, Doug is in charge of our creative department. His affinity for commercials and for creating memorable print work to support them, make him uniquely suited to our production expertise.

A degree in Illustration and Advertising from Columbus College of Art and Design preceded a career at Hallmark Cards, Leo Burnett, DDB and Publicis. He lives in Dallas with his wife, a son and daughter, and a madcap Shetland Sheepdog that chases airplanes.


Emily's comfortable working in all stages of post-production. From prepping jobs and importing media to final dubs and archiving, she's got you covered. She'll even throw a little After Effects animation into the mix when we need it.

She's a local graduate of Communications Arts high school and University of North Texas, where she studied film and communications. Get her started talking about BMX bikes, and you're in for an education.


Graham works his artistic wizardry in our Graphics Department, creating animation and other production design work. Promoted as an intern from Trinity University, he currently rules our graphics department.

Originally from Washington D.C., Graham grew up in Ojai, CA before getting to Texas as quickly as he could. Surprising nutritional note: He can eat an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch in one sitting.


Jason is in charge of our equipment maintenance and rentals in between gigs driving the grip truck, working as a swing grip, and pulling production assistant duties during LR shoots. He's also your man in post-production for filling dub orders, archiving, and keeping things moving.


Anna works alongside producers to make sure shoots run smoothly and clients are beyond satisfied. She takes care to insure your spots get to the right station on time and puts together great lunches and hit-the-spot snacks in our kitchen. She even knows shipping details that most FedEx drivers have yet to learn.

Even though she was born in Laredo, she became a graduate of UT San Antonio with a passion for the Spurs.


A veteran of the travel industry, Szilvia handles accounting and all things financial for Laszlo Rain. She'll keep billing and purchase orders flowing through the system in the morning, then switch gears to personally create our famous home-cooked lunches (Ask for the meatballs).

She moved from Budapest, Hungary to Toronto in 1987, where she met a budding director named Tom. They moved to Texas in 1990 and were married in 1992. They have two children, Skyler and Tristen.
