There is not a single reliable fact from the biography of Tommy Weiso, even information about the date and place of birth is ambiguous. So, the director himself actively distributed information about what was born or in 1968, or in 1969. He also talked foggy in various interviews about which country and city. According to Weiso, he grew up in the American city New Orleans of Louisiana, while in his youth managed to live in France. But his relatives, according to Artist, lived in the city of Chalmett of the same state.
Some personal data from Tommy's life revealed the actor Greg Sister, who is his best friend (as the director said in an interview with James Franco in 2016). He wrote the imaginary memoirs, which argued that the narrowed brother had discovered photocopies of immigration documents of the mysterious director, in which its real date of birth was October 3, 1955, and the place is one of the countries of the Eastern Block. Thus, the zodiac sign of Weiso - scales.
In 2016, some guesses were confirmed when the ROOM Full Of Spoons was released, telling about the set of "Rooms". Rick Harper tape director, analyzing the available information about Waiso, concluded that the artist was born in the Polish city of Poznan. In response, Tommy only confirmed that he was a Catholic and a leaving from Europe, and also talks in French.
According to Greg Sister, Waiso, living in San Francisco, managed to change a large number of professions, including hospital worker and a waiter assistant. Further, it became the founder of Street Fashions USA, which is engaged in the sale of discounted defective blue jeans. Having earned the starting capital, Tommy went to business related to real estate, rented and partially assumed large trading platforms in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
That is how Vaiso claims, he and rich. In an interview with 2017 for the Forbes magazine, he told that he did not refuse himself before the start of the filming of the film "Room" - he had his apartments, a new Mercedes and means for shooting their own independent film.
However, according to the sisters and colleagues, Tommy on the set, the money was mined illegally: the allegedly "room" covered the organized criminal gang, which was laundering. Waiso himself denied these rumors.
There is also a legend that drastically changed the life of Tommy Vaiso Autochatte, which happened to him in California - his car hit the driver who drove on the red light. After the tragic events, the man spent several weeks in the hospital, and recovered, decided to devote himself to creating a movie.

Films
Tommy Weiso, accustomed to criticize any film and fall asleep in a cinema from boredom, was delighted with only one ribbon - a dramatic thriller of 1999 director Anthony Minghell "Talented Mr. Ripley". Inspired by the picture, he said that he would no longer "wait for Hollywood" and independently remove the film from which people would cry and could not fall asleep for 2 weeks.
The novice director described his project as a drama about the guy named Johnny, who has the best friend - a typical American and a wonderful girl. All three are close people, but the beloved main character betrays him, and Johnny begins to go crazy. The young man, tired of life and what is happening around, decides to commit suicide in front of the world. The action of this tragedy occurs within the same room.
Initially in the drama scenarios there were as many as 600 pages, which corresponded to the format of the large-scale series. Then Waiso reduced it to 74 pages, removing episodes in which Johnny turns out to be a vampire with superhero abilities and flies over San Francisco on Mercedes. According to Tommy, all shown in the tape is absolutely truth: both the wrong girl, and the betrayal of a close friend, and sex penetration in the navel, and an attempt to take part in group sex.
Waiso invested in the author's project, all the action of which is developing in the room of one house and the Hi-color colors store, Doggy!, $ 6 million Roles only for large fees.
For 6 months, during which work continued on the "room", Tommy was quite despotic, and therefore the scandals were not cleaned. The man was considered only with his own opinion and constantly late. He firmly believed that the painting was nominated for the Oscar.
Waiso spent fabulous money for an advertising campaign in the support of the film - Billboard with his photo, sewing 5 years, PR on television, in newspapers and on the radio. Within 2 weeks, the "room" was broadcast in the Laemmle network cinemas.
Debut film director came out so bad that the cult was still at the time of the show. The fans of the "room" became more and more, they memorized the quotes from the tape, took a spoon with them to the auditorium and threw them into the screen (in the apartment of the main characters there were a large number of paintings with the image of this table appliance).
In 2003, the film collected only $ 1.8 thousand at the box office, but this was not upset by Vaiso. First, due to the fact that now the "room" brings tens of thousands of dollars every month due to night sessions passing in different countries of the world, secondly, because the dreamer of the director is fulfilled - the author's project has gained a cult status, and his name has already entered in history. In the following years, Tommy's filmography was replenished with a number of pictures, but they could not surpass the success of the debut.
