I am a screen industry professional and amateur film critic, shaped by an upbringing in a household with an unusually focused engagement with art, literature, cinema, music, and architecture.
A childhood spent reading Lemony Snicket gave way to a lifelong pull toward the expressionist, the speculative, and the inventive — from Australian Gothic horror to Polish arthouse to Hollywood epics.
I now publish critical film reviews on Substack, covering international cinema with a particular interest in the formally ambitious.
I bring attention to films I find valuable for the new cinema goer — for better or worse.
