Interview with The Film Experience's Nathaniel Rogers

Ever since I began thinking about pursuing a career in journalism, my love for film and awards season was something I and everyone around me was very aware of. My nickname in high school was IMDB (after the website, Internet Movie Database [imdb.com]), and whenever we'd watch movies in class, my teachers would jokingly ask me how many Oscars the movie won/was nominated for, who was in it, who directed it, etc. I knew that it was something I wanted to make a career out of.

It was this point in my life that I started becoming more active on the internet, and I discovered various film blogs and sites where people wrote about their love of film, which contenders for the Oscars they were championing. Nathaniel Rogers (of The Film Experience) was one of these people that I discovered, and has since then been a source of inspiration in my writing and future aspirations. Nathaniel does everything that I would love to do in the future. He is a member of the Gurus of Gold, a group of respected critics and bloggers who weigh in on who they feel will be the major players in the Oscar race. In addition to this prestigious honor, he has interviewed people such as Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Charlize Theron, Jessica Chastain, and many others. He also attends film festivals, screenings, and does write ups of films and many other topics all on his incredibly entertaining website. To say he's an expert in the field, is an understatement.
