ML: What’s your background in film/directing?
NV: Nothing serious. I made a short film in High School called « Rugged Life. » It’s a homemade film. We have mad stunts like Steve Mc Queen in « Bullit. » It was cool because no one had a driving license at this particular time.
MR: Not even one short for me. In High School my ambition was to open a video store, or play in the NBA. I failed both. I can book hotels as Kevin Love, though!

ML: Are you guys self taught or trained filmmakers?
NV: Self taught. I learned how to film like I learned how to play ball, by myself. I used to try Tim Hardaway tricks (Chi-Town!). Now I watch movies instead of « NBA Superstars » VHS. I’m an eternal student.
MR: Self taught!

ML: Okay. Let’s transition into the miniseries.. Where did the title « New York Minute » come from?
NV: Mr Complex’s « New York Minute » was the first time I’ve heard about this expression. Then I heard about the meaning of it.. « Everything can change in a New York minute. » It sounded like a perfect match to name our stories.
