INT/EXT: Skeleton of a Screenplay
Okay, okay! I admit it. I made the subtitle rift off of "Would You Like To Build A Snowman?" Or for you DP2 lovers, "Father, Can You Hear Me?"

Comcast Should Keep Disney From Buying Fox. Top Story - June 2018.
Hallelujahs were called when news hit that Disney would buy Twentieth Century Fox. Just knowing that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be complete led fanboys to rejoice. Disney also expressed their excitement for the other franchises Fox had. Though the merger wouldn't be finalized until another year, everyone could smell the roses and green grass.

Inside the Mind of a Method Actor
Inside the Mind of a Method Actor What makes a movie memorable? The set design, the music, the sound effects; all three of these are integral, of course. However, the main ingredient to a stunning performance is those who truly bring it to life: the actors. Without the actors, who will tell the story of this world you have built? How could we convey a story of tragedy without that last, genuine tear from an actor’s face? Who would we relate to in a story without characters to sympathize with?

The Dump of Recycled Dreams - Hollywood, Remake After Remake
My boyfriend sent me the trailer for the new Halloween movie with the message "This looks terrible." I'll admit I couldn't bring myself to watch it. John Carpenter's first Halloween movie is very close to me because it was probably one of the first movies I watched with my dad that then set us off on being film buffs together. Or more likely made me join in on the buffness.

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things!!
Comcast vs Fox vs Disney, FIGHT! Holy f*** is this s*** going cray. Like, what in the f*** even people? Holy mother of god. Ok, Comcast, I know you're scared, I know. But like, who told you this was the best possible course of action? People already don’t like you and this isn’t helping, at all.

The Double-Edged Sword of Social Media
I am a filmmaker. I have always loved to write. When I'm not telling other people's important stories as a journalist, I am creating worlds of my own, as an indie filmmaker under my production company name FARMGIRL IN THE CITY PRODUCTIONS INC, with the dream of being as well known as people like Patty Jenkins, Roxann Dawson, Ron Howard....

Why I'm Tired of Remakes and Reboots
Remakes and reboots, oh my. It's seems like that's all I've been seeing over the last several years. Now before I proceed any further, let me be clear of something: I'm not against all remakes and reboots. There are some that I like and dislike. So I thought I'd get that out of the way. I'll be giving my two cents on why Hollywood should come up with new ideas, as opposed of them doing constantly doing remakes and reboots.

You're Projecting Again: Projection in Theatre
In light of technological improvements in the past few years, it is now easier than ever before to incorporate moving graphics and images into live theatre. Theatre arts is one of the most long-standing and beloved forms of art that continues to evolve and adapt as time crawls forward. Despite the comments of theatre traditionalists modern projection is heightening the message and integrity of modern productions.

DC vs Marvel: Should We Be United or Rivals?
Can't we all just get along in this one article? Note to self, this was written a year before Avengers: Infinity War. The three points I'll be making will be depicted and contrast from fans vs the two studios. Personally, I'm a DC fan but I enjoy Marvel films back in the day. But loved how DC once was in 2008 before CG/special effects got more advanced. From here on out I won't be picking sides, but judging both.

Is This the End of Channel Awesome?
This is something that has weighed on me for some time. I’ve been a personal fan of the content creators on the website Channel Awesome for quite some time, but I noticed not too terribly long ago that there seemed to be a mass exodus of personalities from that site. Then came #ChangetheChannel, in which these departing creators used a Google document to air their grievances against Channel Awesome and its managing personnel. You can read that document here.

'Finding Dory'
When it comes to PIXAR, they are the best at animation. That is a fact. Despite having some weak entries in the past years, their other movies are still held as one of the all time best. Now, I could argue that because of Toy Story 3, one shouldn’t be worried for The Incredibles 2 and because Brad Bird is returning to direct and write it, we should all be chill, but, fact is, after Toy Story 3, PIXAR took a gigantic hit. Their movies could not match the genius that Toy Story 3 or the previous films were. Now, InsideOut and Coco were strong and powerful movies. Coco was even, in my opinion, the strongest film PIXAR has done since Toy Story 3, but besides Coco and Inside Out, let’s look at other movies that PIXAR released after TS3.

Iconic Movie Moments You Will Not Believe Were Improvised
Planning is everything. Scripts are almost scientific in their creation. They are written in a very specific way that is designed to steers the audience’ journey through the narrative and through the varying desired emotional states.
