Work has, admittedly, added a layer of anxiety in terms of covering film festivals that I usually have not had to worry about. In past years, I was able to just take the requisite vacation time- or was on furlough- and left to freely cover the festival. This year, that hasn’t happened. But I’m not going to allow that to stop me from covering the 46th Atlanta Film Festival. While […]
The 2 1/2 days I spent in downtown Marietta covering the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival was some of the best times I’ve spent in the midst of genre fans and filmmakers ever, and that includes DragonCon.

Brace yourselves… I’ve been doing a lot of writing recently (actually, for the past year). Mostly it’s been on the reviews front (I’ve been keeping pretty well up with not letting reviews fester), but also I’ve been doing some creative writing. Not just on […]
After two years of astonishing productivity, it all came to a halt. In all honesty, there really wasn’t much in 2006 that felt right, least of all in the creative department.
