Movies

I have a funny relationship to movies — I grew up in Los Angeles, and for a very long time refused to engage with the "whole thing" that was going on. Over time — particularly at the behest of my high school friend Jack, and my high school film studies teacher, Ted Walch — film became a big part of my life. I log most of what I watch on Letterboxd; titles link out where I've written something.
