In this episode I have a great conversation with my friend and independent filmmaker Tom Phillips from Yonkers, NY. Tom is the writer, director and producer of the film Between Wars starring Michael Imperioli, Harley Flanagan ( founder of the band Cro-Mags), Sean Nugent, Dominic Chianese Jr. and James Huddleston. This is a film about a man that comes home from war in Afghanistan back to his home in the Bronx. However he struggles to live a normal life due to PTSD. This is a film that Tom has made success on a micro budget, filming over the course of only 9 days with 15 hours each day. His story of film and his passion for the art is absolutely amazing.

During this conversation we talk about how he got into filmmaking and why it is so important to him. We also discuss fatherhood and being a role model for our children.
