Just Another Guy Who Loves Films

“Cinema is a matter of what’s in the frame and what’s out.”

If there’s anything about filmmaking that I’m familiar with, that is the story, not the screenplay in particular but the story in general.  As a writer, I’m easily drawn by stories and I believe that filmmaking, just as much as writing, is another way of telling stories. That’s why I love films.

I want to share my experiences as a film enthusiast, talk about the movies I love, and spread this love of films to others. I also want to meet fellow cinephiles and talk about films, their thoughts about what’s inside the frame of every movie they love and what’s out.
