About Author:
If you ask Nigel what his all time favourite film is, he’ll proudly tell you that it’s a tie between The Godfather and Saturday Night Fever, but don’t hold that against him (the latter is a guilty pleasure). He works in the financial district, but secretly wishes he could review movies 24/7 – unfortunately for him, that wouldn’t pay the bills. A true horror fan, while in L.A., Nigel actually had his girlfriend wait in a cab while he took pictures of the original Halloween house (much to the dismay of the homeowners). In his spare time, Nigel enjoys photography and writing & directing short films. Artist, Musician, Poet and Scholar – yes, Nigel is none of those things, but you can rest assured knowing he’d like to be. Email Nigel: hnigel8@hotmail.com
