Making movies is a team process, and the leader of the team is often attributed to the director. I managed to find a local director to ask him a few questions. Below is a short interview between the two of us which may offer insight to aspiring film students.

A: My name is Nick Taylor, I'm a director who grew up in New Jersey.

A: Nearly 20 years.
Q: Do you enjoy what you do?
A: I love it, absolutely.
Q: Who are some of your inspirations?
A: Everyone has something to contribute.
Q: Favorite movies?
A: Mostly 70s works, I find they had a real-world charm.
Q: What are the most important elements for a story?
