The movie connection

The movie industry played a role in the Tennessee Waltz case. In addition to saying he had connections in the entertainment industry, informant Tim Willis actually produced a movie not related to E-Cycle or the corruption sting.

A couple the scenes were filmed in the E-Cycle office. When the FBI agent asked him about why he filmed the movie and why he chose that particular location, he said he did to "make the office look busy."

An actual film was made and released. It was called "Street Wise". The FBI agents had no idea Willis was doing this. They found out about it later. Willis claimed he didn't think they would mind --as he was making the business look active.

E-Cycle had nothing to do with any kind of production for the film.
