Tommy Alastra
Tommy Alastra builds brands and businesses at the level most companies only hope to reach. For over two decades he has operated as a bridge between Hollywood, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley, producing award-winning content, building brand awareness for some of the most recognized names in the world, and co-founding technology ventures backed by serious institutional capital. As Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Bright Group, he owns the brand, the ventures, and the market reach that turn strong technology into a company people notice.
The Brands He’s Built
Through TAP Inc., the production and entertainment marketing company he founded in 2002, Tommy has produced content and built awareness across film, television, fashion, beauty, and luxury for an extraordinary roster of global brands. It reflects a rare ability to move fluently among studios, Fortune 500 brands, and world-class talent. Few operators in technology can open the doors he can.
- Brand campaigns for Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Lionsgate, MTV, Showtime, and BBC
- Brand work for Jaguar, Victoria’s Secret, Reebok, Gibson Brands, and SBE
- Live performances for artists including Jay-Z, Kanye West, Katy Perry, and 50 Cent
Film and Content
Tommy's production work put him at the center of major entertainment properties, working directly with A-list talent and global distributors. His films show the same instinct he brings to every venture: find a compelling story, attach the right names, and get it in front of the largest possible audience.
- Produced Sunset Strip, a documentary with Johnny Depp and Slash, premiered at SXSW, acquired by Netflix
- Produced Jackals, starring Stephen Dorff and Deborah Kara Unger
- Partnered directly with Microsoft on feature-length content
Technology and Ventures
Tommy's move into technology is real and repeated, not a one-time experiment. He has consistently positioned himself at the frontier where entertainment, brand, and emerging technology meet, and done it with credible institutional backing. This is the throughline that makes him the right partner for a technology firm: he knows how to make the market pay attention to something new.
- Co-founded Perpetual Altruism and Cryptograph, an early celebrity NFT and blockchain platform
- Built the patented GBM.auction system; Series A backed by Gavin Wood’s Horizon fund II
- Advisor and producer to LiveXLive (Loton Corp); board member at Digital Hollywood
Where the Value Is
Tommy is what makes Bright Group more than a firm that builds excellent technology quietly. Judd owns the technology; Tommy owns the brand and ventures that carry it to market, ensuring the right people see it, fund it, and talk about it. That combination of world-class building paired with world-class reach is rare, and it is why the two of them together are stronger than either practice alone. As Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Tommy leads the brand and the firm's ventures.
