Happy International Women's Day everyone! As a female movie fan and film critic, as well as someone who's dabbled in filmmaking, I'd like to take the opportunity to talk about where we are in terms of female representation. I have lamented in my Oscars nomination musings that Hollywood once again ignored female filmmakers with the …

THE INFERNAL MACHINE – Review + Interview with writer/director Andrew Hunt
As they say, the pen is mightier than the sword and once a piece of the written word is released in public, it’s out of the author’s control how it could be interpreted. The Infernal Machine is a cautionary tale of that scenario. Reclusive author Bruce Cogburn has been hiding out in his hilly desert …

Apparently one of the photographers he follows on IG, Jason Belle, had wished him a happy birthday. I've been crushing on this Indiana-native for some time now... it's been …

Thursday Movie Picks: Female Cinematographers
Given today’s THURSDAY MOVIE PICK‘s topic is on female cinematographers, I thought I’d reblog this post I did last November.
Check out my appreciation for the fabulous work of Charlotte Bruus Christensen, Rachel Morrison, Maryse Alberti, Mandy Walker, and Ellen Kuras
I’d been wanting to do this post for a while, but somehow haven’t got around to it. Well, thanks to last week’s Thursday Movie Picks on favorite cinematography, which I had actually missed, I thought I should make up for it this week.
