German born Hollywood director Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder, Conan) is a good personal friend of mine, and I'm currently developing a maritime horror movie, Stowaway, with him. Here Marcus talks about his beginnings as a graphic artist in one of United States' best advertising agencies, plus all kinds of challenges which we creative artists inevitably face in our career trajectories. I found this interview very uplifting and empowering. Hope you'll enjoy it.

Marcus shot some commercials for me back in the day. Talented guy.
