I get to speak with Tom Malloy. He's an actor, writer and producer. I had the opportunity to attend his workshop at the VIP film and TV summit here in Northern Virginia. And I learned a lot of amazing things about the movie business, especially from the production side of things. Tom has raised over 25 million dollars on indie films over the years and in this episode he talks about his experience into film making and his journey. He's the author to Bankroll the book.

Hacks to take Away
- If you're really committed, you should start taking those steps. And you know, making your own movie starting to play, sooner or later thaT you realize, Oh, crap, that's all I'm doing. And now you're 100% in the movie business. And that's a great feeling beautiful.
- Planning is always the key to future success or future, that if you had more of an idea first going in, maybe it wouldn't have got so it changed up.
- I started reading books and PDFs and playing and playing and playing. Now that was 2009. It says, and now it's almost 10 years later. And it's like, every tournament I walk into, I'm considered one of the top players one. And it's like, I won the Reno Poker Tour Celebrity Invitational two years ago, that's the one I used to host.
- What I love about it is that I played a lot, many celebrities, and people respect me now. Because here it is. If you would see me at first, but I'm playing and I had no idea what I was doing to now completely different stories.
- A tip for anybody is to make something that's really funny. And hopefully, it'll capture the Zeitgeist and get in front of the right people.
- Life would be an interesting one. And now the problem with that, it was always kind of a fun game to play. But the problem with the game of life was that if you had to follow certain paths.
- I enjoy living and the adventure of new things every day and so I'd say that what I would choose is probably your life for games.
