I don’t know much, but I do know film. As an independent filmmaker, I grew up watching and learning from films. I have built my life around my love for cinema and was even a projectionist before the mass-switch to digital within the industry.

The beautiful thing about film is that everyone has a different reaction to every movie. For every film you love there is an army a people that hate it. And every film you hate has an army of people that love it. Regardless of whether you agree with my reviews or not, I look forward to discussing movies with anyone and everyone.
