As an intern and then a contributing writer at Film School Rejects, I wrote essays, reviews, and social media posts about my favorite movies and TV shows.

Essays:

One of the best things about my time at FSR was getting to go long about the things I love. Here are some of my favorite pieces I wrote for the site.

Bob Fosse, 'Cabaret', and the Performer's Eye for Filmmaking

The Glorious Dreamworld of "Singin' in the Rain"

Discovering the Self Through Song in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'

The Perfect Timing of 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend'

All the World's a Stage in 'The Muppet Movie'

We'll Always Deserve 'The Good Place'

Reviews:

During my internship, I became a certified critic on Rotten Tomatoes and wrote documentary reviews for FSR’s sister site, Nonfics.

'General Magic' Review: Failure is Only the Beginning

'Decade of Fire' Review: A Community Rises from the Ashes
