Film is art...
That statement couldn't be more true!
Movies are such a major part of our lives, mine especially, and they are filled with major and minor breakthroughs alike.
I've always been fascinated with the subtle (and not-so-subtle) meanings and messages of films, almost like a treasure hunt.
The purpose of stories, of movies, is to connect. And how do we connect? Through discussion, through analysis, through storytelling.
I explore and analyse the plethora of movies and build a community of storytellers.
