We sat down with writer and director Christian Nilsson to discuss his latest film, Westhampton. It's a story about a film director and how his movie relates to his real life, and how it distorts the truth. We discuss how learning to wrap cables can lead to more work, what happens when a project falls through, creating a new genre of film and Christian's advice to a younger version of himself. 

Learn more about Westhampton and check out Christian’s work.
