| What is the main focus of your site? | A review of films with a slightly deeper analysis on film theory than most reviews. I don’t want to simply say a movie was good or bad, I want to talk about a director’s auteurism, editing, social and ideological issues and other elements of a film that will force my readers to look at a film a bit differently. I want to prove that movie reviewers are not just cynical critics with biased interpretations. I want to write intelligent responses to films and incorporate more theory into reviews and have my readers think a little more deeply about film. |
| What are your blogging goals, personally and/or professionally? In other words, what, if anything, are you trying to get out your blog? | I want to pursue a profession in film criticism. My ideal job would be working for Indiewire, THR, or Deadline and covering major film festivals. I would like my blog to be a resume to show to future employers and have it demonstrate my ability to review films with a thoughtful analysis. I would also like to make contacts and have discussions with other bloggers and receive insight and feedback on films. |
| Do you prefer an interactive community for your blog or are you the teacher and your readers the students? | I highly value the interactions and feedback that come with having a blog. The community aspect, to me, is integral to developing my reviewing skills and enjoy the civilized discussions I have with readers who disagree with me. |
| How long has this site been active for, and how frequently do you post updates to your site? (Note: sites must be active for at least three months for entry to the LAMB.) | I started it in 2011. I post about once a month, but that is because I’ve been busy with school. I’m about to graduate, so hopefully I will be able to post more frequently. |
| Name up to three of your favorite movies (and no more). | All About My Mother, Punch Drunk Love and American Beauty. |
| Name a movie you hate!! | Transformers |
| How did hear about the LAMB? If it was a LAMB, do you recall which one? | The Vern’s Videovanguard |
| Any additional comments, or give yourself an interview question that’s not listed above. (optional) | I heard this was a great community to be a part of, and I’d love to share my thoughts with other ardent film geeks. |
