In addition his animated film, Shaft of Light, screened at the Sundance Film Festival and was distributed by the Anti-Defamation League in its Anti-Bias/Diversity Catalog.

Professor Tomlinson's Erdös Number is 4 (Erdös, Specker, Lieberherr, Dourish, Tomlinson), and his Bacon Number is 3 (Bacon, Kornelis, Underhill, Tomlinson), thus making his Erdös-Bacon Number a 7. (If you allow television, the Bacon Number drops to a 2 (Bacon, Alda, Tomlinson), and the Erdös-Bacon Number drops to a 6.) |
