"Working with Tom is exactly what independent filmmaking should be. Hit the ground running, roaming the streets, stealing shots, running and gunning. It's as far away from Hollywood as you can get and that's the way we like it. All passion, inspiration, and fearlessness. Tom is as indomitable and tenacious as they come and that's what it takes to make a truly independent movie... without a studio, on a shoestring budget, and defying the odds.
