Thom Filicia Southern Charm
Sudler-Smith is the creator and executive producer of Southern Charm, a Bravo reality show that follows the social life of Charleston, South Carolina. The second season’s filming wrapped up in November 2014. Southern Charm follows the lives of six young professionals in Charleston, including a new lawyer, an aspiring fashion designer, and Thomas Ravenel, a local celebrity who was forced to resign as South Carolina’s state treasurer after being charged with cocaine possession. Ravenel is still “pursuing a political career with utter delusion,” according to one show reviewer. “While getting sloshed and hooking up with a 21-year-old, he plots his comeback. In other words, he’s reality television gold.”
Thom Filicia Career
Going for Baroque and Afternoon Delight were Sudler-Smith’s first small films after moving to Los Angeles in 1996. He released the independent film Bubba and Ike in 1998. It was a “redneck buddy comedy” with Jesse Borrego and Elisa Gabrielli. The Austin Film Festival was the first place it was shown. Torture TV, a second independent film starring Trevor Goddard and Danny Huston, was directed by Smith and written by him in 2002. Additionally, he writes movies.
The documentary Ultrasuede was made by Sudler-Smith in 2010: The book “In Search of Halston” is about Roy Halston, a well-known fashion designer who contributed to the development of the “casual chic” look. The film used archival footage and interviews with people like Anjelica Huston, Billy Joel, Liza Minnelli, and Anthony Haden-Guest to focus on Studio 54 and the 1970s club scene in Manhattan. The movie was shown in theaters all over the world before being sold to Showtime. It is now available to watch on Peacock and Amazon Prime. Variety and Entertainment Weekly critic Owen Gleiberman gave the film an A grade in their reviews, stating that it “has a grander trajectory than just about any other fashion doc.” The film received mostly negative reviews and currently has a 33% rating on Rottentomatoes.com, a review aggregator.
Southern Charm Savannah and Southern Charm New Orleans, two spin-off series, are also executive produced by Sudler-Smith. Gregory Miller wrote this in The New York Post. She is Arthur Goodhart Altschul Sr.’s widow, the well-known New York art collector and philanthropist who was Goldman Sachs’ longtime General Partner.
Patricia Altschul occasionally uses icy wit to comment on the activities of the younger crowd on the show. “I think that’s a little out of your realm,” Sudler-Smith’s mother told him when he announced his plans to open a restaurant in Charleston during the first season of the show. Mikell House, a 9,480-square-foot mansion built in 1851 that Patricia Altschul purchased in downtown Charleston, is used for some of the show’s filming. The scripted comedy Family Office is in pre-production at Sudler-Smith’s studio.
