I have a BA in Cinema Studies and Art History, and currently reside in downtown Toronto. I launched this website in search of a digital outlet through which to vent my everyday thoughts and criticisms, but also to celebrate the filmmakers I admire for their effects on global culture. I hope to continue writing about film and media, and their power to change social attitudes.

When I’m not coordinating events for the HS Doc Club and writing reviews for Spark Magazine, I’m usually stealing french fries off my boyfriend’s plate or petting other people’s dogs.
