Feb 17, 2016The American Dreamer(s)It’s not often that I write about new documentaries. The trends in our genre are clearly cut today. The experimental and groundbreaking works still exist, but are largely relegated to museums and the internet. That said, the film I want to discuss is not really “new.” It’s just finally being…Film4 min readFilm4 min read
Sep 24, 2014Climate Change and the Mainstream Imperative: Animals!There’s a lot to talk about in regards to climate change.

Published in I. M. H. O.·Nov 20, 2013Social Media Platforms for ActivistsDo Try This at Home — I want to preface my writing with one note: I want these platforms to work. I really do. So much so that I’ve considered creating my own. So much that I’ve waited years for the well publicized platforms to roll out and…only go halfway.

Oct 11, 2013Dear Karen BlackA brief look at my meeting with the star of Robert Altman’s “Nashville.” — Much has been said about Karen’s talent and her perseverance in a business that is often indecisive and seemingly impersonal. I’m a little late to the wrap party on this topic, I’ll admit that. It’s personal to me, so I’ve had the luxury (and the need) to process it over…4 min read4 min read
