    Business of Entertainement: Torri Tillman Film Producer Caged

    About But for an untimely injury, Torri Tillman's career might have taken a different path – one in which he performed on Sunday Nights, or perhaps the Olympics as a professional athlete (or both) as his parents did. An 8-time State Champion in track and field with elite basketball and football skills, many have considered Tillman's athletic abilities  as remarkable. But, those skills may pale in comparison to his artistic gifts. At an early age Tillman excelled in creative writing. But, only recently did he apply that talent to film-making. Caged is Tillman's debut as a writer and producer. But, his innate leadership enabled him to attract a talented cast of characters and infuse them with a sense of purpose elevating their performances to new heights. This work addresses the serious social ill of domestic abuse while depicting love as a powerful antidote capable of breaking chains and freeing captive souls. No small task for any film-maker.  But, Tillman pulls it off with a tremendous amount of determination and focus. After a stint as a fitness and runway model, Tillman enrolled in acting courses where he quickly progressed. He cut his teeth with roles in several short independent films, two of which won several film festival awards across the nation. In Caged, Tillman plays Ariel, a talented but reluctant fighter in a fierce battle to cast off expectations and find something worth fighting for. What's next for Tillman? There are exciting opportunities on the horizon some of which he's been casted for including a superhero, and other opportunities he plans to create by continuing to write and produce.  But, for now he's focused on getting Caged to the masses of people who could be moved by its message.
