In this episode of the Podcast, I visited New York City and had a chance to speak with filmmaker Nicolas Heller. On his Instagram page @NewYorkNico, he refers to himself as the unofficial talent scout of NYC, where he documents the fascinating characters around the city in a raw and personal way. Nicolas has also built up a catalogue of well polished commercial and client work under his company Heller Films. In our conversation we speak about his start in filmmaking, finding inspiration in New York City, and overall intention with his work. Enjoy!
