My first love is the cinema.
My bachelor's degree is in film studies. I started working in movie theaters at age 16 and have spent many of my adult years working as a projectionist and as a theater manager. I also taught screenwriting for the Chicago Screenwriters Group for several years and worked as a film critic for a Chicago magazine for a while.
Even when I'm not being paid for it, I make a top 10 list every year and often write movie reviews just to get my thoughts out of my head and entertain my friends. Here are some movie reviews I've written over the years.

Appaloosa (2009)
