Why I write…
I’ve always loved movies, for as long as I can remember. When I was seven I wrote my first screenplay. I don’t remember too much about it, but apparently I used the phrase “1,2,3 Go!” alot. This blog is my love letter to cinema. A chance for me to go back to film school with the eyes and experience of an adult. I wanted to formalize and solidify my understanding of film and really try to learn what makes a “great movie.” This is my attempt to do that.
