About
Films and I have always been close. The "willful suspension of disbelief" has always come easily for me, and I often will become frustrated when it is disturbed (hence my love for seeing films in darkened movie theaters). Good storytelling can not only invite us to live within another world, but also help us to see our own more clearly, and it is this kind of storytelling that I hope for when I settle in to “read” a good movie.
It is my hope that this blog will offer those that are interested a little insight into the world of film, editing and storytelling, in both recent films as well as some of my favorite movies. One note from the outset: I tend to read film from the perspective of an editor, and also have an eye towards social commentaries, which can make my choices a bit quirky. Reader beware…
I’ll try to post here about every two weeks at first, and we’ll see how it goes from there!
