Election post
Annoyingly, if there’s one thing I enjoy more than film, it’s film discourse. I like stoking the flames of debates overanalysing media and tearing down the egos of enigmatic film bros —whether Blade Runner 2049 is a masterpiece or just vibes, if Paddington 2 is genuinely the pinnacle of cinema, and why Barbenheimer was the closest thing our generation has to a religious experience and how studios have failed to remanufacture that phenomenon *cough cough* Saw Patrol, Glicked *cough cough* .
As a physics student, I like breaking things down—narrative structures, cinematography, and why a single well-timed cut can wreck your soul. I’ve spent years writing everything from literary essays to research papers, having spent time as editor-in-chief of my school newspaper and as a writer for various magazines and journals, though my favorite thing remains dissecting stories, themes, and the inexplicable magic of film. As co-editor, I want to make the journal a space where both the casual enjoyer and the self-proclaimed cinephile can revel in the joy (and chaos) of film criticism—where we can go from deep-dive analysis to absurdly passionate hot takes in the same breath. And yes, I will fight for Paddington 2 with my life.
