You love films.We love films.Welcome to Film Studies Minor.
Welcome to the Film Studies Minor community! We are all about the love of film (and the sometimes necessary hate-watching of it). So pull up a chair, grab your movie-viewing accoutrements, and let us whisper sweet cinema into your ear. Explore and connect with us!
Three past film studies minors- Zack, Colby, and Jackson- sit down to have a thoughtful conversation* about a certain aspect of a film. Our expertise is debatable, our opinions sometimes inconceivable, but damn if we aren't likeable.
*Film rambling included
Visual Essays are our attempt to fill your eyeballs with information, a la A Clockwork Orange. It might hurt a touch, but admit it, you like the pain.
From our love (see: Colby's love of Raiders of the Lost Ark) to our frustration (see: Zack's nonexistent enthusiasm of Jurassic World), our blog posts will anger, humor, other-emotion you.
We aren't experts. We aren't famous. But we have opinions that you need to hear.
