With “Changing the Game,” I figured attaching someone of his caliber would help me raise money for the film, which it definitely did. He was a big asset to my executive producers, Thomas Webster and Karen Isaac, because anyone who they got interest- ed as a potential investor, Tony would speak to them, and even meet personally with them. It took three years to literally raise just enough money, complete casting, secure crew, locations, shoot, and do post-production for the film. I had a lot of other help from producers Alain Silver, Larry Weinberg, and Don Schneider along the way. It then took two years to get a final cut and then avidly seek theatrical distribution for the film. All To place your ad, email advertising@theskanner.com in all, it took seven years from initial script to seeing the film finally on the big screen. KW: What was the most challenging aspect of that filmmaking process?

Most indies are now made in the millions. I wanted to show that a lot can get done with a little bit, if it’s planned and executed right. That’s where your skill as a filmmaker is greatly tested.
