Today's movie really reminded me why I decided not to become a hitman.

There's just no job security.

Howdy, I'm Jeff Goldsmith, and this is the Q&A.

My agenda is simple.

Each week, I plan to bring you in-depth insights into the creative process of storytelling.

That's right, kids.

That's why I went and became a journalist because there's so much job security there.

But look, the Oscars are over.

We're back into fun genre films.

And today we have a great one for you.

We have director Nick Stagliano with us to chat about his latest film, The Virtuoso.

Now, of course, the award season just ended, but how cool was it that Sir Anthony Hopkins just won an Oscar on Sunday night?

The man is just a living legend.

And we get into our discussion with Nick today about what it was like to write for Anthony Hopkins.

And specifically a monologue that attracted him to this movie.

This was a really fun event.

What you're going to see if you're watching us on the Backstory magazine YouTube page is you're going to see the Zoomcast that we did that folks who attended

our virtual screening of the Virtuoso were able to watch. So in case you didn't know this,

you could go to the backstory website, click on events, and you could sign up to get on our mailing list

for when we do these virtual events.

I think virtual events are going to stay around for a while, actually, because it's just

a great way to do outreach all over the nation.
