- Thomas Edward Seymour is considered one of the Top Twenty Contemporary Underground Filmmakers in the U.S., according to the book The History of Independent Cinema (published in 2009) This "Top Underground" status has been echoed several times (ABC news, New Haven Advocate, Frames Per Second web series and others).
- [Scream Queen Debbie Rochon] She is one of the most important figures in the American contemporary B-movie and underground film movement. She has acted in over 200 films. She's an incredible actress and a good person and to me that matters most.
- [filmmakers who inspire him] El Mariachi (1992) by Robert Rodriquez was a real inspiration. A great film for 9 grand. Sin City was great too. An actual good use of CGI for once. John Carpenter and George Romero are gods. I wish I could be as talented as Ridley Scott.
- [making a movie in a limited amount of time] Shooting a film in 10 days beats the sh*t out of you and I've done it 8 times now.
