Tim Tortora

About Tim Tortora

I have countless stories from the road. Living and working all over the world - basically on the road for 13 years of my career. Running Oprah Winfrey's film and long-form TV unit, the Benji franchise, producing at Mandalay Sports Entertainment, working on Jackass: The Movie, The Burton Movie and countless TV & film projects. I stopped traveling and working in the trenches of film production when I knew I wanted a family -- and not just in name.

I continue to work in my dream business, but now from the desk of a CFO. Producing movies from 8 to 6 and advising investors in my consulting practice before and after my day as a CFO.

I wrote a book last year and I create content to help investors and young movie business entrepreneurs find their way through Hollywood - without getting conned. My book is not a tell-all. I could have written something that was sleazy, named many names and told the inside stories of people who sometimes behave very badly, but instead I chose to write a book about how not to get hosed by the Hollywood Con Man.

Working in Film Production is tantamount to being an entrepreneur. You are running a business you are creating a brand and that brand is yourself - all the time. You're constantly selling, you're constantly networking and you're constantly staying engaged looking for work or opportunity.

And I'm here to tell you it does not matter what your education is or the background you came from. In Entertainment you walk in with a clean slate and create the career you want.

Topics I Can Discuss:
-- Entertainment Investor guidance and future investment strategies
-- Film & TV production
-- Being an entrepreneur in Hollywood
-- Film and TV financing packages
-- How to identify and avoid the Hollywood Con Man
