We sat down with Timothy, and he shared his experience directing Silencer.

InkTip: Tell us about yourself. How did you get your start directing?

TW: I was an actor before I started directing, and I decided I wanted to jump in behind the camera in order to have more creative control over the projects I was involved in. I also thought it would be pretty amazing to be involved in the creative storytelling process from start to finish. From selecting the script and casting the actor all the way through post-production.

InkTip: I see you’ve directed a lot of action and crime movies. What draws you to these genres? Timothy Woodward Jr. directed and produced Silencer after finding the script on InkTip.

TW: My inspiration comes from differ- ent places depending on what my focus is. If you’re talking about a western, Sergio Leone is my biggest influence. If you’re talking about modern films, Tony Scott has an amazing visual style, and he is always pushing boundaries. It’s hard to narrow it down to just those two directors though because there are so many amazing cinematic artists.
