About Me

My photo
I'm always interested in digging a little deeper when it comes to cinema and doing what I can to keep the conversation going. This is a place for me to ramble, review, and recommend things outside of my usual letterboxd meanderings. Some of the films I watch are challenging, graphic, and possibly disturbing. I try to write about these things with a modicum of sensitivity but please read with care.
