About Me

My photo
Bailey
New York, NY
I started writing about films for a small monthly alternative rag in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas, back in 1998. This was primarily as a distraction while I was pursuing my own interests as a filmmaker. Now, over a decade later, I've written for alt-weeklies and several websites (including my current gig as film editor for Flavorwire), and I've found that I tend to enjoy writing about films more than I enjoy making them. Plus, it's faster!

Roger Ebert's Three Laws of Motion Pictures

  • 1. A movie is not about what it is about, but how it is about it.
  • 2. No good movie is too long. No bad movie is short enough.
