Sean Hunting was one of the oldest professors in the New York Film school. Although he didn't look like it, the man was already over 60 years old but had made himself keep in shape, so he barely looked like he was in his early 50s.
According to what Jeremy had told him, they met while Sean was directing a short film for a film festival.
They have become friends then but at the end of the movie, Sean had realised that he wasn't made up to be a director.
Hence, he had given up and taken the opportunity to teach others about the job that he always wished to do.
After meeting Aiden, Sean invited him over to his office and brewed tea for him before they started their conversation.
"So, I was very curious. Why did you want to take classes on filmmaking? I'm pretty sure you would know a lot about it at this point. Some of my recent favourite movies are yours."
