Crazy Rich Asians: A Conversation with Annie and Tiffany

Crazy Rich Asians dominated the American box offices in August and has been the topic of much conversation in the Asian American community since the trailer was first released in the Spring. This is the first Hollywood film since 1993’s Joy Luck Club with a full cast of Asian American leads (which incidentally uses some […]Read Post ›

The Impact of a Budget on Indie Films

The Impact of a Budget on Indie Films

It could be that we’re having an ‘80s revival where the masses are craving teenage coming-of-age films, but the production time and clichés that worked for John Hughes back then aren’t translating to today’s audiences.

How The Bold Type Sets The Bar For Feminist TV

How The Bold Type Sets The Bar For Feminist TV

I am sick of watching television shows that paint women in their 20’s as codependent, emotionally infantile, and shallow people, not to mention completely lacking the real mindset of young women. I find shows like Girls to be insulting because they claim to represent women my age (25), but all I see are whiny spoiled […]Read Post ›

What Made Lady Bird A Successful Film

Why Lady Bird Was A Successful Film

Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut,  Lady Bird, has become a cultural phenomenon.

When I heard about this film, I wondered, how did this subtle look into the mundane […]Read Post ›

Loving Vincent

by Morgan Moore and Catherine Harlow   As the first full length feature film animated entirely with oil paintings, “Loving Vincent” is unlike anything we have ever seen before.  True, that may be stating the obvious, but it is one thing to know that fact and another to see it in action.  Even having seen […]Read Post ›

Schitt's Creek: A Different Form of Comedy Writing

Schitt’s Creek: A Unique Form of Comedy Writing

This past week I have been enamored by the television show Schitt’s Creek, which is written and produced by the dynamic duo Eugene and Dan Levy. For the first three episodes, I found the characters to be hilarious and engaging, but something about the episodes felt different. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, […]Read Post ›

Scene Cards: A Screenwriter's Best Friend

Scene Cards: A Screenwriter’s Best Friend

One of the most important parts of developing a screenplay is writing the scene cards. This consists of the breakdown of each scene, one per note card, via a few sentences. It’s where you really flesh out what works and what doesn’t work and it gives you a chance to have a concrete idea of […]Read Post ›
