Six foot plus, Nick DeRuve looks a movie star. And although he’s done some acting, it’s on the other side of camera, as a screenwriter and director, that the young filmmaker is intent on making his mark. It’s been a long road for DeRuve, from Schenectady, in upstate New York, to LA, and longer still to Toronto, where his movie The Runaway was recently screened.

Why do we visit cinemas and how come we take the time to drive a considerable distance to pay upwards of $10 per film? Maybe it is to see a film that you had been anticipating for some time, or because a group of friends decided to check out a new release. No matter the reason, the focus is always on the film as the main motivator.
